Women want the natural ones. Just try and give a fake one to your wife/gf.

We have no choice then: destroy all women

No. They no the natural diamonds by one simple thing. Price. See if you can pawn on of those fake diamonds off.

They don't have to see the price tag.

And if the two are identical, the pawn shop wouldn't be able to tell that it was fake in the first place!

so the way they know them, is by their price?

synth Diamonds are already almost perfect, and the only thing they need to be perfect is a change in the way they chrystalize, a certain small technological problem, that I am sure will be soon solved.

Then, one will be able to offer them on the market, with the same price as the the ones with the "real" diamonds do. They will offer a lot of them, and prices will fall.

Industrial diamonds ( made by a simpler process, and having a strong brown color,but just as strong),are already used in drills and instrumentation for the creation of machine parts, and tools.

Imagine diamond armor, and diamond bullets. All of these can be possible, and it can become reality quite soon.

It's already been solved. The only way the two types of diamonds can be told apart is that the new syntheics are flawless. Even the best natural stones have flaws.

When the patents on the technology expire in 17 years, the world will be flooded with cheap perfect diamonds of every color.

The price of diamonds will not fall. Women want them because they are expensive. It's called conspicuous consumption.

Wrong, women like diamonds because they are sparkly. If it was price, they'd be demanding rubies.

But what if the US had beef with Italy? Would they rename pizza as well? What would it be called? Freedom Pizza (NOT THE ITALIAN ONE!)? What would be the toppings.. hey, cheese comes from somewhere too.. what about buffalos and bacon? Then you're supposed to like it, even thought it would taste like ****?

But then again... you might want to consider doing all of the good stuff from other countries with 100% domestic twists, ruin them, and then the fat problem would be over. Sounds like a plan

No. Babies like sparkly things, like tinfoil. Women want you to spend money on them. More than that they want their friends to know that you spend money on them.

If it was just sparkles they would be happy with Zirconium diamonds. Most of the reason they like diamonds is because that rock fits in perfect with their ideal fairy tale engagement, wedding, marriage tradition.

The women interested in price often leave clues like telling you they like/prefer platinum instead of gold or silver. Or sometimes they are more obvious with saying they want the receipt for sentimental purposes.


No place I went/knew ever sold 'Freedom Fries'. No 'Freedom Mustard' or 'W American Ketchup' ever in the stores either. I'll feel a lot safer when my ketchup has pictures of guys holding guns.
