nothing wrong with her statement, at least from my perspective. All due respect to you lady but if I loosely imply something rather then call it out that makes me innocent?....or does it make me deceitfully clever? The idea that some 60,000 suffer as justification for a corrupt government...  it depends on whether u believe ur asking a question thus r innocent or whether u know it ur soul that it is karma and thus ask a question anyway IE: indirectly making ur opinion known but i honestly don't think she was being deceitful. yes it is sad, millions suffering at the hands of their apparent democratic nation.

'Cause 8 years is a really long time. Ok?  | |

like it or not, people feel this way...if an earthquake had struck Germany during war world 2, dont you think people would have felt conflicted about helping the Germans? in the end, she decided to help and shared the lesson learned... why is that so bad? Yes,yes Nic, it was very well orchestrated. If she were of average form I'd draw little from it but with her abilities I sense malice. I respect your stance and THAT is mine. We will have to agree to disagree.
....As for assaulting random German folk for a Nazi crime... I don't think so... Be damned the Nazis and participators in the atrocities. Like it or not, I feel this way. | |

It trips me out how everyone is so quick to judge/dismiss her based on one public instance of foot in mouth disease. Shit happens, doesn't mean it should suddenly negate the YEARS of exemplary charitable work and good she's done. It's a good thing that the sum of who each of us are is not measured by ONE off-color remark or we'd ALL be in serious trouble. 
[Edited 5/27/08 19:26pm] Pat Robertson said basically the same thing about 9/11 and Hurricane Katrina.  Yeah, but in light of Pat Robertson's LONG history of being crazy and saying wacky shit his comments don't surprise me at all and are to be expected. Sharon, on the other hand, does not make a habit of being publically malicious, like Robertson, and she has a long history of doing a lot of good for MANY causes and people, most notably AIDS-related causes. So I guess I can give her the benefit of the doubt and chalk it up to maybe she was emotional and didn't quite know how to articulate how she felt. [Edited 5/28/08 2:15am] | |

Sharon Stone apologizes for remark on China quake By HENRY SANDERSON, Associated Press Writer
51 minutes ago BEIJING - French fashion house Christian Dior said Thursday it has dropped Sharon Stone from its Chinese ads and released a statement from the actress apologizing for saying China's earthquake may have been bad karma for its treatment of Tibet. ADVERTISEMENT The 50-year-old actress said she was "deeply sorry" for causing anguish and anger among Chinese people with her remarks in an interview last week. Stone models for Christian Dior SA, and the company's Shanghai office issued the statement. Stone's comments caused considerable anger in the Chinese media. The official Xinhua News Agency said in a commentary Thursday she was the "public enemy of all mankind." The public relations manager for Dior in Shanghai who gave only her surname, Guo, said Stone would no longer appear in the company's advertisements in China. "Due to my inappropriate words and acts during the interview, I feel deeply sorry and sad about hurting Chinese people," Stone said in the statement. "I am willing to take part in the relief work of China's earthquake, and wholly devote myself to helping affected Chinese people." Chinese media have erupted in indignation over foreign criticism of the country ahead of the Beijing Olympics in August. During the international leg of the Olympic torch relay, many Chinese reacted strongly to protests over China's rule of Tibet. Foreign Ministry spokesman Qin Gang said Thursday he had taken note of Stone's apology. "We hope that as an actress she should contribute to our two peoples' mutual trust, understanding and friendship," he said. Stone's original comments were made last week during a Cannes Film Festival red-carpet interview. "I'm not happy about the way the Chinese are treating the Tibetans because I don't think anyone should be unkind to anyone else," Stone said. "And then this earthquake and all this stuff happened, and then I thought, is that karma? When you're not nice that the bad things happen to you?" | |

JoeTyler said: lreesey said: Interesting, I didn't hear it that way at all. Sounded like she was struggling with how to feel about a number of things and asked the question "is that karma?" in regards to the earthquake. Then seeing how the mistreated people still wanted to help out the people mistreating them it taught her a lesson. But that's just me
 No, you're not the only one; I've heard that too and that's why my reaction hasn't been like "wow, she's a bitch" , "she's stupid/ridiculous " or other pearls  i think she spoke within her personal experience and perspective, even if her words were a bit insensitive, harsh and perhaps unwise. she simply stated that the earthquakes could be karma from china's oppression of tibet and rampant military crackdown on the people who are resisting china's oppressive regime. karma is indeed a buddhist concept and buddhism is quite common in china.
imo we are turning into a 'politically correct' police state. people who do not adhere to the PC party line are condemned without a fair trial | |

If some terrible event were to happen to her, is that karma? I think we all need to take a closer look at ourselves before we start to speak out about how fucked up someone else is. | |

and maybe something terrible will happen to her as a result of her remarks. karma. but imo just because we are not perfect ourselves does not mean we should refrain from giving voice to any criticism, ever, imo. | |
