Hold it, guys! I see the comments here, and see it best to set a few facts straight.

1. What's this bull I hear of them turning other Gems into monsters? Not only is that out of character for virtually everyone in the show, but also out of character to the deceased Rose Quartz! Seriously, under what circumstances would she let this go through?! Besides, if they DIDN'T contain the monster Gems, they would most likely wreak havoc on not just the city, but the world as well!

2. I call bullcrap on them not being corrupted at one point or another. Well, okay not complete corruption, but coming close to it. Sugilite, anyone? Besides, even if the Crystal Gems DID become corrupted, Steven would find a way to revert them to normal.

Now I will give this theory some credit: their dialogue does seem suspicious, but Ocean Gem and this bring to light something I honestly didn't think of til now. Perhaps the other Gems look down on Earth (though why exactly I'm still trying to figure out) and thus a war broke out to find out whether or not Earth should be destroyed in favor of another home for the Gem...race I suppose.

Let's think about this: Lapis says and I quote that she, "Never believed in this place." implying that she never saw the point in liking Earth. And given it's taken Peridot THIS long to find the hub that links Earth with every other Gem colony, that isn't a far-off assumption to make. Perhaps the Crystal Gems are just radicals who thought differently than the rest and wanted Earth life to live as oppose to making it a battlefield for other Gems.
