Diamonds are a lie

This is where our community discusses almost anything! While we're mainly a Cambodia expat discussion forum and talk about expat life here, we debate about almost everything. Even if you're a tourist passing through Southeast Asia and want to connect with expatriates living and working in Cambodia, this is the first section of our site that you should check out. Our members start their own discussions or post links to other blogs and/or news articles they find interesting and want to chat about. So join in the fun and start new topics, or feel free to comment on anything our community members have already started! We also have some Khmer members here as well, but English is the main language used on CEO. You're welcome to have a look around, and if you decide you want to participate, you can become a part our international expat community by signing up for a free account.

i hope you guys could get along. I like you both but now you are putting me in very hard place that i would need to choose sides. Kind of divorce happening that do i stay with mami or papi when i would like to stay with both of you.

Really hope you can solve your differences and we can live happily ever after and all the other good stuff.
I hear and obey.

I have a long history of responding to what other people want.
It’s ok. Me and your mum will have make-up sex later.

What a dumb video.

- "If we all decided at the same time that diamonds aren't a girls best friend then they would immediately lose all value", yes but the same thing can be said about fiat currency. If we all decided it was worthless, it would be worthless. Finite resources that can't be double spent have intrinsic value in trading mechanisms (or at least they did until blockchain was invented).

- Diamonds aren't a finite resource, the technology to grow them artificially has existed for a long time, and is illegal (unless you dye them) specifically to keep market prices artificially high. This isn't a secret, it's been known about for a very long time.

Well what else can we expect from OP?

The diamond ring is just a symbol of love. Old time Chinese marriages never had rings, let alone diamond rings. The priest wraps both their arms in cloth, the woman pours a cup of tea for the man, the man pour a cup of tea for the woman, and that’s it.

If it makes your other half happy, why do all the posters need to make such fuss over such a thing?

It’s not trying to hoodwink your other half, tell her it’s a real diamond vs. synthetic, etc. it’s just a symbol of how much you love and care.

Be it from a gum ball machine or a jeweler, as long as she’s happy with it.

Of course it’s a game one upmanship to keep up with the relatives, you’re screwed.
