Chinese Outraged by Sharon Stone's Quake Karma Remarks

Sharon Stone said at the Cannes Film Festival: "I thought, 'Is that karma?' When you are not nice, bad things happen to you."

Film star Sharon Stone has set off a storm of fury across China after she suggested the deadly earthquake that killed as many as 80,000 people was bad karma for Beijing policy in Tibet. (A video of Stone's 'inappropriate' quake karma remarks attached below.)


Stone said she "cried" after the Tibetan Foundation asked her to help quake victims: "they wanted to go and be helpful, and that made me cry. It was a big lesson to me that sometimes you have to learn to put your head down and be of service even to people who aren't nice to you."

She also said, "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. And then all this earthquake and all this stuff happened, and I thought, is that karma?"


Stone's remarks lead to pledges by some Chinese cinemas not to show her films, and reportedly motivating Dior to remove advertisements with her image in China.

Her comments also created a swell of anger on the internet, including famous Chinese public forum Tianya.cn devoted solely to disparaging her comments.

Vanna,you $%$. U know nothing about China. I m Canadian who has been working in China Since 2006. Chinese people now buy Baggatti Veyron like u buy a bettle. Most Cities in southeast has higher living standard than whichever city u r from. N they spend 200dollars on pets every month.

People like vanna who are racist are often also the most ignorant. Many of the victims of the earthquake are from the Qian and other ethnic minorities, including Tibetans of isolated and mountainous south western China, while the communist central government has so far come out of this stronger than before. So should there be a natural disaster in where vanna lives, people should save the animals and let people like vanna rot.

I thought the same thing as Sharon Stone. The innocents did not deserve it, but in a way, it's still kind of indirect karma.

PS If people really want to know more about China's conservation policies and its people's symbiosis with nature and its animals there over the millenia, I highly recomend a recent series of BBC broadcast call "Wild China" (google it). Its fascinating and overall much more informative and nuanced than a selective narrative of Youtube footages of animal markets and animals destined for human consumption.

Vanna is so pathetically risible, racist and sadly ignorant about nature, conservation, China and all its ethnic groups. Imagine where human evolution and civilisation would be if we all believe everything is based on karma. We would all probably still be cave dwellers or remian as hunter-gatherers, nevermind domesticating animals for our own benefit. People like vanna who engages in anthropomorphism all too often forget that nature is blood red in beaks and claws until nature bites them in the ass.

Karma or not, those children that perished in this earthquake did not deserve it. What have they done wrong? What evil has a 5 month old baby committed? Being born in an unpopular country?

I THINK SHARON STONE IS TOTALY RIGHT SAYING THIS EARTHQUAKE IS KARMA ! = Karma means "deed" or "act", is the universal principle of cause and effect, action and reaction that governs all life. Karma is not fate, for humans act with free will creating their own destiny. If we sow goodness, we will reap goodness; if we sow evil, we will reap evil. Karma refers to the totality of our actions and their concomitant reactions in THIS OR PREVIUS LIVES, all of which determines our future. The conquest of karma lies in intelligent action and dispassionate response.Since the chinese people have no spiritual education , of course they will not understand ! Chinese people are one of the most evil people to animals, as the bilis bears, cats, dogs and animals for fur ! What they do is pure HORROR !They treat animals with total cruelty and even humans because they work so hard as slaves, have no freedon of speech and dont have humans rights. All this horror and pain they give to others comes back the same way. Dont think that you can hurt and be very cruel to an animal you will not suffer the same pain ! YOU WILL FOR SURE ! Animals fell the same we do , love, afection, pain, fear, hurt, hangry, thisty and horror too....THEY ARE PRISIONERS WITHOUT FOOD, WATER, NOTHING AND THEY ARE FISICALY HURT AS THE PEOPLE IN THE EARTHQUAKE.Also china is one of the most causes for polution and global warming and this is the result, the planet is screaming because is being destroied !Sharon Stone and everybody else is free to think and say what they want ! We have freedon of speech ! I think we must ! = Of course is very sad what happened to the people in China. Everybody is broken heart about this situation. But it is karma and people have to understand that karma rules your life and is a universal law of action and reaction and acept and be better souls ! We cannot scape from it ! This life is likened to a field in which our Karma is the seed. We harvest exactly what we sow ! About the animals just check here and much more !http://br.youtube.com/watch?v=xf6Ab8nNRgImany animals are Skinned alive too so look for : Bloody fur market in China ! and so much more , just go to search at the internet ! CRUELTY TO ANIMALS IN CHINA ! you will find hundreds of pictures, videos and more information about this shooking reality ...China has a Culture of Cruelty to animals, a long history of animal abuse is in the spotlight as Chinese county indiscriminately massacres animals for ages ...SO CHINESE PEOPLE AND EVERYBODY IN THIS PLANET ! IT IS TIME TO LEARN = if you do evil , evil will come to you= if you do good, good will come to you TO PEOPLE, TO NATURE AND TO ANIMALS TOO ! WE ALL HAVE THE RIGHT TO SPEECH ! AND WE MUST LEARN BEFORE IS TOO LATE ! I LOVE ANIMALS AND IT IS TIME TO STOP THIS CRUELTY !
