Sharon Stone Thinks Earthquake In China Was Karma
Sharon Stone always keeps it interesting...you never know what's going to come out of her mouth! When she was at Cannes, a reporter asked her what she thought about the earthquake in China. Her response was that it was karma coming back around. Ummm....WHAT?!?
"Well you know it was very interesting because at
first I thought I'm not happy with the way the Chinese are treating the
Tibetans because I don't think anyone should be unkind to anyone else.
And so I have very concerned about how to think and what to do
about that because I don't like that."
She goes on to talk about her buddy the Dalai Lama,
And then I’ve been, you know, I've been concerned about, oh, who should
we deal with the Olympics because they're not being nice to the Dalai
Lama, who’s a good friend of mine. And then all this earthquake and all this stuff happened and I thought, 'Is that Karma, when you’re not nice and the bad things happen to you?'"
ONTD, Bauer Griffin
This stupid bitch hasn't been relevant since...ever. Her opinion means absolutely nothing.
It's astonishing how close someone's foot can be to their mouth.... she should be ashamed of herself....
Yeah, because those poor villagers whose lives were destroyed really have a lot to say about how China treats Tibet and what's going on with the Olympics....
You are so so so stupid , earth quake is disaster for human not only for
chinese

Sharon Stone isn't quite and observer, sun rises for "the good" and "the bad" guys... bad things happens to everyone, as good things too... so you can't control what is going to happen to you but the important thing is how are you going to overcome the difficult... and how much are you going to appreciate the goodness
I'm truly shocked how stupid she is ....I never thought before
I wish I would never read this ..
She is awful! It stinks when celebrities open their mouths like this because it reflects on all Americans so badly. Obviously the majority of Americans are in agreement that the earthquake in China was a tragedy. It is in no way karma and to insinuate that it was "deserved" in any way is equivalent to saying to U.S. "deserved" Hurricane Katrina or 9/11. Give me a break...
she sounds like such a nut!

I just came in to see what everyone else was saying.
What a freakin' lunatic this woman is!
That's insane, I can't believe she would think that was an okay thing to say. Wow.
Karma has a funny way of coming back. Did we forget what they did to thousands of dogs and cats? They were clubbed to death, what government allows such cruelty????
That's what happens when you're so caught up in trying to sound smart yet be blinded by religious teachings.
*Although Buddhism is considered a religion, it's supposed to be a philosophy only..I just wanted to say that not all Buddhists are blinded by words from a man. The Buddha's whole message was that we figure things out for ourselves, not adopt blind faith in one man.
oh don't get me wrong, i'm just saying that this sort of things happen when people take religion (philosophy) if you will to their own whims and twist it around to mean something totally obtuse. i don't think any religion in its own right ever intended for any deplorable behaviour to come out of its teachings.
I'm hoping that she was misquoted. That's a ridiculously stupid thing to say, like if an Earthquake hit San Francisco, it would be because George Bush is an idiot and it's karma. Or because same-sex marriage has been legalized. What? No. I kind of don't believe that she said that. She must have been misquoted. It's too stupid.

Definitely not misquoted...the video of her saying this exact thing is on Youtube!
Don't sweat the petty stuff and don't pet the sweaty stuff :)
so katrina was karma? the tornado craziness that is plaguing the mid-west is karma?
stupid.
Is she flipping serious?!?!?!!?

She's rediculous. What a heartless thing to say.
What an evil hag!! that is so disgusting to think that because a person is born in a country with a shitty government that they deserve to die a horrendous death or have to bury their children! Peta boycotted her, and so should everybody else.
What an evil hag!! that is so disgusting to think that because a person is born in a country with a shitty government that they deserve to die a horrendous death or have to bury their children! Peta boycotted her, and so should everybody else.
Chinese media have already started to boycotted her and the product which has her as a spokesperson.
I agree with her. The olympics should be boycotted, not Sharon Stone..It's been FIFTY YEARS since they've occupied Tibet..all the Tibetans want is Autonomy, which was supposedly granted, but if you go there, the culture is all Chinese, not Tibetan..
Have you ever studied the history of China and Tibet? How many Tibetans do you know in person? How did you know all the Tibetans want is autonomy? My friend in Beijing is Chinese. He met a Tibetan woman and they fell in love. They're going to have a baby boy. His Tibetan wife wants peace and a prosperous China. BTW, Tibet became a part of China long before Chinese Communisty came into power. You are just blinded by the one-sided propaganda of the western world. And before you accusing China, please think about what the Europeans did to the native people in North America, South America, Australia? Do you think those people want Autonomy too?
Totally correct, thanks a lot!!
This is a typical chinese response. They will kill people by gunning them down with tanks on the street, arrest and detain innocent people for years without a chance for hearing and annex soveriegn land and yet bully you when you say they did something wrong. History is that 50 years ago chinese military invaded Tibet and annexed it, killed thousands of peaceful buddhist monks, threaten Taiwan everyday and all those that wish to trade with Taiwan. Now China is building missiles to shoot down satellites - if there was anything evil, the muslims and the chinese - they are it!!!
BTW - I know a few tibetans, they want the chinese out of their country ASAP.
Typical chinese response? well, your response is a typical dumb ass answer, for believing all the things the US media feeds you. have you ever been to china? if you really want to talk about killing people to get land, start with america, land of freaking free. gotten by killing MILLIONS of people. BOTH taiwan and tibet are part of china. if they were ever cut off from china, they would have a hell of a time supporting themselves without any help from china. and even if tibet was ever set "free", you can trust that america would be the next country to sink its claws in it to claim its natural resoures. don't be a damn hypocrite now.
Assuming you're from the US, before you start preaching about how the Tibetans want the chinese out of their land, how soon would you give up your house, your backyard, the life you built if Native Americans wanted their original land back?
So you are saying that you agree with her in the sense that all the chinese people deserved to die? ALL the innocent children needed to be crushed to death? go to yahoo's front page and look at the picture of the dead children then say you think they deserved to die, and that you think it is because of karma. you are so rude, think twice before you say something like this. you really think it's karma? you have to agree with her? how damn ignorant can you get? do you even know that alot of the peopel who died from the earthquake are actually tibetans? stupid bitch go read some history books before writing some heartless comment like that.
and if you want to talk karma, look at what the US has been getting. shut it if you don't know anything history.
"all the Tibetans want is Autonomy" funny!!! Have you ever been to Tibet?? How many tibetans do you know?? Olympics will never belong to such a stupid girl like you!!!
You are so so stupid , earth quake is disaster for human being
not only for chinese.
This coming from a twat famous for showing hers....
funny, imagine paula abdul & this dumbaz in a conversation, both not capable of putting a coherent thought together.
China is grossly overpopulated- losing 60,000 people hardly makes a dent. It may sound cold but the reality is that natural disasters like this and Katrina and the tsunami are very much needed on this earth- it's Mother Earth's only defense against us parasitic humans that have been raping her and her resources for hundreds of years. We have an extreme problem with overpopulation- it's unfortunate but true.
As for karma- I doubt 60,000 people had bad karma coming their way because of the way their government handles foreign relations...
My opinion- it was sad, but very necessary.
Then you should kill yourself, your mom and dad, your children and spouse first and your neighbors first to help Mother Earth! You mother fucking jerk!
You sound like a Nazzi and you are a complete moron that will be judged by God without mercy.
You are probably a seedless man or woman who have been crying your eyes out for not being able to produce any offspring and hoping everybody else around you dies. Well, yes, it is confirmed your life is worthless.
yea, i think the earth is really crowded too. let's kill some people off. i would like to start with you.
If you really feel that way what are you still doing on this planet? You're just as much of a waste of space on this Earth as Sharon Stone is ...

oops!
Pretty despicable.
Does she really think that the average person living and working in China who loses their entire family in an earthquake is reponsibility for imperialist government policies that are more than 50 years old?
Get a clue.
INNOCENT PEOPLE HAVE DIED IN THAT EARTHQUAKE. necessary? are you freakin kidding me? just because the world is overpopulated does that mean you start killing people or be happy when they DIE in natural disasters? what is wrong with you people?
i agree with the previous post.
she sounds like a complete idiot.. forget being ignorant.. she's just a moron.
What would you expect from someone who rose to fame flashing her twat?
It's ignorant hags like this that make America sound bad. I'm sure the Dalai Lama must be so proud of her.
Wow, I cant believe how many uneducated people came to show their faces on this thread. Lets start it off by saying that Buddism is NOT a religion nor a Philosophy it is 'a state of being'. Secondly, Sharon is EXTREMELY worldly and educated she knows what is going on in the world and she is not afraid to speak about it and get involved in it. She should not be crucified for some stupid quote that was OBVIOUSLY taken out of text, she in NO WAY says that China deserved the quake she is simply making a comment about Karma.
All in all China is RIDICULOUSLY overpopulated and it IS mother natures job to do the weeding out in this world. The Chinese have persecuted their own people for thousands and thousands of years, they are not fair to their own people or to animals. If you know anything about Buddism you will know that ALL THINGS NO MATTER WHAT ARE TO BE TREATED EQUAL. So for Sharon to call the Karma card really is not that far fetched.
And for the rest of you who are 'offended' by this remark, are you HONESTLY going to tell me that Hurricane Katrina wasnt Karma? Cuz I think it was. So was 9-11.
What goes around comes around.
To Me646
"If you knew anything about Buddism" (to quote your message) you'd probably know how to spell it. Individuals died in an earthquake. Citizens of the world died in that earthquake, not a government policy. What goes around doesn't come around. What goes around comes around to land squarely in the faces of hard working families who have nothing to do with the autonomy of Tibet. If you knew anything about Buddhism, you'd know that using "what goes around comes around" is simplifying the concept of Karma to a moronic level. To attribute tragedies such as Katrina, 9-11, the earthquake in China, and the famines of Africa to a belief of Buddhism is taking your own arrogant notions, thinking you know who deserves blood shed, and plastering it over something you clearly know nothing about.
I'm not so much offended by your message, rather I think in your attempt to show your "educated" response you actually showed a sophomoric way of interpreting Buddhism and Karma.
wow. are you sharon stone's twin?
Looks like VH-1 will have to update it's show on the 50 dumbest celebrity quotes. What ever quote that was on the bubble at number 50 just got knocked out by that one.
I agree that Katrina and 911 happened for a reason too. The World Trade Centre was destroyed in a country that exploits poorer countries through free trade. New Orleans- the modern day soddam & gammorah filled with promiscuity, gluttony, sloth. I'm not religious at all but when that disaster hit it just seemed kind of... right.
I think this old hags brain is starting to detiriorate.

I wonder why SS still gets invited to any events. She was drunk all the time last year in Cannes, this year she looked better, but it seems the side-effects of alcohol have taken their toll.
Didn't she say once she had an IQ of ~ 170 or so? Not much left!

OK...WOW! People on this thread made more harmful remarks than Sharon Stone did. WOW! The internet makes hate easier doesn't it.
If she believes in karma than she will most likely be skinned and worn around someones shoulders to keep them warm. Remember she's the fur queen.
May I just make a statement that is off subject, ok. There is no reason to boycott the olympics in China. If anything we should all go. We have a chance to show people in China what truly is going on outside their borders. Let them see it for themselves and not what their media tells them.
Yes we should all go to China...and we will all realize things about China, people in China or China government that are described in the media here in the US are mostly false. Americans need to go outside of the U.S. borders to find out what real world is out there.
Just trying to provoke...she's loosing the war against her age and "she" being on the news!
I read somewhere that Sharon has a very high I.Q. Hmmm.......

my mouth actually dropped when i read this.....and didnt know what to say for a good 5 minutes.
im still speechless.....just rattling on here bc i DONT KNOW WHAT TO SAY.
wtf???
Her comment wasn't that karma was coming back around at all. She was asked a question...what do you think of the earthquake...and she then went on to say what she was thinking, which was kind of like thinking out loud and wondering. It's pretty normal to think that if you do something bad, "something" is gonna getcha. You reap what you sow, from a Christian perspective. I don't think she was accusing at all, just wondering and sharing her thoughts. I dislike when we jump to conclusions and make accusations about what someone meant when they clearly did not say "karma is coming around".
By that token her family "deserves" to get shot for having such a stupid mother.
what an idiot she is, then are other people suppose to say the same thing every time something happends to us , disaster happens every where , it's either, earthe quake , tornatos, fload, or ext..... i never seen any body as stupid as she is , if she wants publicity she better found it some other way, tramp.

wow so then if we follow her philosophy then the United states has it comming right??
Sharon Stone is brainless.
Dalai Lama is brainless as well as hypocritical!!!
The earthquake-hit area are the places where Tibetant people live. According to Tibetant religion, Lama should hold ceremony for dead people. Now Panchen Lama leading other Lama to do so in China. Panchen Lama is another highly respected spiritual leader for Tibetants, his position is even higher than Dalai Lama now, in Tibetant's eyes.
However, Dalai Lama is travelling to Europe to enjoy his political life and might meet Sharon and tell her, "well, it is a Karma, but we need to send help for them"....God, how hypocritical man he is. He should have stayed at home for ceremony if he really cares about the religion.
Brainless Dalai Lama + Brainless Sharon
The Dalai Lama sent a delegation to Beijing and, although under PLA military pressure, ratified the subsequent Seventeen Point Agreement for the Peaceful Liberation of Tibet and tried to work with Beijing. In September 1954, the Dalai Lama and the 10th Panchen Lama went to Beijing to attend the first session of the first National People's Congress, meeting Mao Zedong. However, during 1959, there was a major uprising among the Tibetan population. because of the tense political environment that ensued, the Dalai Lama and his group began to suspect that China was planning to kill him. Consequently, he fled to Tawang, India, on 17 March of that year, entering India on 31 March during the Tibetan uprising..
William Louwin, only someone without a brain would ignore the fact that he's in exile. Brainless William Louwin + Brainless comments.
Well, you really can't expect too much from a woman who made a name for herself by exposing her vagina in a famous movie. Her ex-husband was an executive at San Francisco Examiner. He probably divorced her after discovering she doesn't have a brain.

Wow. Some of the posters here left some pretty disturbing comments.
The earthquake in China was not karma, what a load of bollocks. It was an earthquake and unfortunately it always hits the wrong people meaning the poorest and difficult to get to areas.
how i long for the days when hollywierd kept their opinions to themselves
Honestly, this shows her ignorance and lack of education.
I believe she has never studied history of that part of the world and fully understood it. By listening to one side of the story is ALWAYS wrong. She's 50 years old for goodness sake. That's half a century! I can't believe such lack of wisdom.
From where I come from, common knowledge like this, can be attained from the newspapers, which I have come to conclude that she doesn't read much of. ignorant pple should start to READ WORLD NEWS.
Stop being a dumb pawn by reading sensationalised reports and let your emotions take over you just becos you've feel that it's not right. Have you considered the possibility that you are wrong?
A country cannot be responsible for KARMA. How about the children? Because they are chinese, they deserve it? SO MANY OF THE CHILDREN! DO THEY DESERVE IT? is that punishment for the chinese population?
And to think one reader actually cites cats and dogs as reasons to why the chinese population has bad karma. Are you sure, in your heart, you want to say that the chinese lives are equivalent to cats and dogs? Do you dare make such a statement and not be punished by your God if you have a religion or even prosecuted?
Think carefully always before spitting racist comments. AND study your history carefully. Think carefully about who has hurt who before and then understand that bygones are bygones.
At first, she was already unkind to say these words. Is this something interesting? That's so cruel to the people who died and suffered in the earthquake. As I said before, if you don't try to help them, it's OK. If you don't pray for them, it's fine, too. Then please keep your mouth shut. It's the basic respect to all of those innocent people.
There are many kinds of natural disasters in the world, how you can say that it's the karma? And actually when all of us were busy to help Sichuan people, Dalai Lama visited UK at that time. I don't think it's the right time for him to have a speech during this period. He looks kind and his smile is charming, but please stop lying and do some practical thing for the peace and help the earthquake people.
Chinese and Tibetans are a whole family. Sharon Stone, please understand that all lives are the same. This is the common sense.
I would like to remind Dalai Lama and his followers: You may fool all the people some of the time; you can even fool some of the people all the time; but you can't fool all of the people all the time.
I disagree with most of the comments. We gang up on any celebrity that speaks their mind. How many times have we said stupid things about other cultures and generalize. Don't get me wrong - I am not agreeing with Sharon, however she was just brutally honest without thinking the whole world would be commenting on it.
touche, @ May 20, 11:57 passerby...
and the thing that's so funny (read pitifully sad) is that most everyone here that opposed what Sharon Stone said was a hundred times more hateful in what they said than anything she said. Humanity is in a sad state. It might not hurt to carry around a mirror and recite "pot calling kettle black".
Drastic actions or words spoken lead to drastic reactions.
Sharon's just getting what's coming.
If she simply said she's not concerned with the damage and suffering caused by the earthquake, fine, I'd think she was self involved and full of it, but that's it.
But if she's going to go ahead and say that they HAD IT COMING, then deal with the extremist backlash, anyone who thinks like that will go down sooner or later, preferably sooner than later.
No, we're just resentful at the fact that undeserving people like her get so much attention for making the most absurd remarks.
Of course people say stupid things all the time, but it's the extent of what she said. The fact that she somewhat implied that China DESERVED the consequences of the earthquake, because of their affairs with Tibet, is nonsensical ...
By saying that she's brutally honest, means that there is truth in what she said, but there isn't. It was only a purely brainless and insensitive comment. Perhaps some of us have gone round being insensitive abt other pple's culture but it doesn't mean ALL of us have. bemoaning abt humanity sounds ridiculous since every single generation (since god knows when) has been saying the same thing. "the world (humans) is changing for the worse, etc etc etc" if you're great enough, bring about change to the world, by showing a bigger heart and compassion. Since SS has apologized, i believe most of the pple affected by the comment has quite forgiven her. This is the emotion that makes us humans different from lower mammals isn't it?
