That is the very thing I am trying to get at with "ignorance". If you are aware but choose to ignore it, it is still ignorance. And if you aren't ignorant of the issues, then you are at least not doing a very good job of defending them (though we just got started since you just answered, so you haven't had much chance), as all we have done so far is discuss my views. So, as far as I have learned in the conversation, I don't know what your views are, but they seem (or, seemed, I'm fucking up all my tenses and shit) ignorant, as they are currently supportless. And I am very much not trying to be hypocritical, and by answering the question you have obviously given some support, so as long as you are supporting yourself and showing a thought/logic process then I would never make the comment in the first place. =P
As for cheaper, I can see your point of view on that. I'd say you probably qualify as a struggling college student, and obviously there are sacrifices to be made, which in this case is the leisure of shopping with values other than the dollar. So I'm curious--how do you see that playing into future decisions, assuming you will not be poor? [insert music major joke here]
As for the dishes, so maybe cultures aren't your cause, but if you had the money there are obviously causes you would support, right? Probably music and arts stuff (just guessing)? I mean, I am curious to know.
Also, I do really want to know: what value do you see in diamonds? And I mean jewelry-diamonds, since that is the market we're talking about, not applications like tools or anything else.
