You know that most Gold was mined by rich people exploiting the poor and through slavery?
Same with diamonds.
Think twice, you should, before you post, young padawan.
Yes it's heartbreaking to see countries like Sierra Leone which yields diamond and gold are among poorest countries of the world.
Most of African countries which are rich in mining gold and diamond are hit by internal conflicts and this gave opportunity to big powers to interfere.
Film "blood diamond " was shot in Sierra Leone and gives picture of how there resources are abused.
