A company that wants to benefit an AIDS charity is selling a DIAMOND encrusted charity item? How dense is that? Diamonds are a blood industry. People die and are exploited in the diamond industry to keep prices artificially high. Ironically, the people exploited by the diamond trade are also highly effected by AIDS and HIV. There are many ways to buy diamonds now that are not a part of this culture of oppression and violence. I certainly hope these diamonds are from them.<br><br>How about they pick ANYTHING other than diamonds? *Any* other gemstone!]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Gamey McGee]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Sep 18th 2006 12:10PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Canon to auction 10 diamond-clad Digital ELPHs for the Red Cross]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2006/09/18/canon-to-auction-10-diamond-clad-digital-elphs-for-the-red-cross/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2006/09/18/canon-to-auction-10-diamond-clad-digital-elphs-for-the-red-cross/</guid><description><![CDATA[Your post makes it seem like you are 100% positive that the diamonds on these cameras are blood diamonds.  What if they are from, quoting you: "[the] many ways to buy diamonds that are not part of this culture of oppression and violence"?  Why would you contradict yourself in your own post?]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Erk]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Sep 18th 2006 1:49PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Canon to auction 10 diamond-clad Digital ELPHs for the Red Cross]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2006/09/18/canon-to-auction-10-diamond-clad-digital-elphs-for-the-red-cross/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2006/09/18/canon-to-auction-10-diamond-clad-digital-elphs-for-the-red-cross/</guid><description><![CDATA[Why don't they just auction off the diamonds? And if it's an auction doesn't that mean that only the person who buys the item is donating to the red cross and not canon?]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[ellianth]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Sep 18th 2006 3:33PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Canon to auction 10 diamond-clad Digital ELPHs for the Red Cross]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2006/09/18/canon-to-auction-10-diamond-clad-digital-elphs-for-the-red-cross/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2006/09/18/canon-to-auction-10-diamond-clad-digital-elphs-for-the-red-cross/</guid><description><![CDATA[Personally, I think it's a much better thing than all those million-dollar cell phones, because first of all, it's for charity, and second, it's a good camera, unlike other gold/silver/diamond-encrusted things. However, if these ARE blood diamonds... how ironic would that be?]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Dayii]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Sep 18th 2006 5:02PM</pubDate></item></channel></rss>
