  - actually the only reason diamonds have become a staple for engagement rings is because of an ad campaign the De Beers group started - decline Apr 7, 10:33 3
    - Because wikipedia is always right: The first recorded diamond engagement ring was given in 1477 to Mary of Burgundy by her betrothed, Archduke Maximi - DreadPR Apr 7, 10:40 1
      - The section talking about engagement ring ownership is interesting. Its just that Diamond is more valuable than a lot of gems - DreadPR Apr 7, 10:43

  - I need my Expedition! -- nm - Soccer mom si Apr 7, 10:28
- there are many gemstones that I like more than diamonds. unless they are cut to have maximum sparkle they look plain compared to coloured stones. -- nm - zork Apr 7, 10:27
- what if you can afford a car, a house, *and* a diamond? -- nm - loosilu Apr 7, 10:25

      - and there was probably only one tv -- nm - zork Apr 7, 10:12 3
        
        no no I had a tv in my room and it did eventually get moved there - J Apr 7, 10:24
        
        I had the game system in my room, with my own tv. - Will Hunting Apr 7, 10:21 1
        
        Same here, and yes. My mom would say enough with the video games, it's nice outside, go play outside. -- nm - con_carne Apr 7, 10:23
    - exactly (still console sales are orders of multitude higher now) -- nm - zork Apr 7, 10:10 5
      - Yeah, there's about 5 times more handhelds and consoles sold this generation already then there were NES systems. -- nm - Inigo Apr 7, 10:12 3
        
        when I hear things like 50 or 60% (or is it more now?) of American households have one or more cosoles, I get a little freaked out. -- nm - zork Apr 7, 10:14 2
        
        But why? It's another avenue of entertainment; nothing more. - Will Hunting Apr 7, 10:20 1
        
        i've agreed all along that the parents need to be in charge of these things and put down real usage rules that are enforced. -- nm - zork Apr 7, 10:25
      - *shrug* So's the gaming population. - Will Hunting Apr 7, 10:11
    - Will's right. -- nm - Stephen Apr 7, 10:10
    - agreed. -- nm - CQ Apr 7, 10:09
  - I'd suggest the suburbanization of the US has done more. No one walks anywhere anymore because nothing is withing walking distance. -- nm - TWuG Apr 7, 10:07 11
    - Not to mention destroying the grid system and building tons of cul de sacs -- nm - Strongbad Apr 7, 10:11 3
      - Dude, cul de sacs are the best! - Will Hunting Apr 7, 10:12 2
        
        You are so not Canadian. Cul de sacs ruled for road hockey. -- nm - General Shaun Apr 7, 10:14 1
        
        Not enough to play in my neighborhood. - Will Hunting Apr 7, 10:22
    - and there are a lot of other lifestyle ramifications inherent therein as well. -- nm - znufrii Apr 7, 10:09
    - In Southern California, we got lots of tract homes, without much thought to public parks -- nm - con_carne Apr 7, 10:09
    - Couple with a feeling by parents, right or wrong, that neighborhoods just aren't safe enough for their kids to roam anymore. -- nm - Inigo Apr 7, 10:09 4
      - No kidding. I remember yelling in through the front door "I'll be back later!!!" and I'd get an "Ok." as a response. -- nm - General Shaun Apr 7, 10:10 2
        
        i've heard numbers that say that kids are no less safe now than they were years ago. -- nm - zork Apr 7, 10:15 1
        
        Wouldn't surprise me. Fear rules these days. -- nm - General Shaun Apr 7, 10:17

  - well, we did discuss that milk *is* a better alternative -- nm - zork Apr 7, 10:06
in camp we once got one of the students to chug a litre of maple syrup for $100. there's a highly amusing video somewhere out there of it. - mafic Apr 7, 10:01 11

- don't boogie that juice -- nm - Danedukenuuk Apr 7, 10:01
- cinnamon? mmmmm -- nm - Andie Apr 7, 10:01
- Baguette -- nm - decline Apr 7, 10:01
- Thank the f**k c*rist. -- nm - General Shaun Apr 7, 10:01 2
