WTF! It is outrageous because many innocent people have lost there lives/families/ and/or homes. The citizens are innocent and have no say in what the Chinese government does about Tibet, because of their political system. The government wants to be there (probably because of the valuable minerals) and they're there. Chengdu, Sichuan has nothing to do with it. Americans actually voted in G.W.B., so if a bunch of people die in an earthquake here is it Karma for Iraq and Guantanamo? OMG Sharon

I just saw the video...
how are the people of Chengdu not nice, Sharon? Do you think they invaded Tibet? Sorry if i sound super bitter about this but its because of ppl like this that Americans get the 'dumb and ignorant of other cultures' reputation around the world. Again, Sharon: China is not a democracy! (The citizens have no say in what goes down unless they are extremely wealthy and can bribe)

Sorry I'm about to be rude, but Sharon Stone is a nasty b*tch. And she's obviously also very very stupid if, as Kamiko pointed out, she can't even make the difference between a government and a population.

God what she said is so disgusting, I think I'll be angry for the rest of the day! I can't believe no one punched her in the face when she said that. Now that would be karma, Sharon..

How intelligent and sensitive of her to say, especially while she plays in the south of France!

We've all said things we wish we could take back. I hope she offers some kind of apology for those remarks. she is in a better position to help than the average person, so that was good of her if she really did.

Well, as we all know most celebrities believe it is their place to tell us their opinions. Other celebrities have said the same thing about things happening in America.

And is the first question supposed to have "uninformed" or "uniformed"?

She is an idiot.

Okay, I just watched the quote and I think her ultimate point was that at first her thoughts were in the wrong place but that then she learned that we should treat others with kindness regardless of their behavior. I don't think the delivery was flippant -that's the way she talks. So ultimately I don't think she was saying that they deserved it, the bigger lesson for her is that we should still help them out.

psychotic. she's insane so i'm not really bothered by what she says, considering it's coming from someone i think is certifiably crazy.

to me, her quotes are as relevant as Sean Penn's.

she's got brain damage. seriously.

Another Actress opens her mouth and shows the world her lack of intelligence and empathy. I almost pity her.

She is probably wishing she said things different right now. Maybe she's walking around her place or hotel, throwing her arms up in the air, "Oh, I wish I'd said things different! and hitting her forhead, "Oh, stupid stupid stupid!"

Maybe she should hire a professional speaker.

Good morning! How was everyones weekend?

This makes me not want to watch another Sharon Stone movie ever again. Not like she was in any good movie to begin with.

it was great, harts! hope you had a good one.

my friend and I went to see Young at Heart, where the elderly people sing in the choir and do contemporary songs. It was really funny!

Sharon Stone has always seemed kind of flakey to me, so this comes as no surprise.

cool Kris!

My Hubby and I went to see Robin Williams in concert - soo funny. Son's been sick, hubby is finally better (after fighting a bad cold), oldest went to the movies with her boyfriend a couple of times. Got some shopping done for our upcoming trip, did some cleaning, went to the gym. It was a good weekend. Hope everyone else had a good one too!

That sounds ve cool Kris and Kim! I love Robin Williams!

We did some fishing. My husband and I went for brunch at a golf course in another town close by. Small golf course and modest brunch. It was really nice though. I love brunches and mimosas!

We don't golf though.

Then my son was sick sunday night and all day mon! He seems to be a lot better now. I took him to my friends house on thurs and her daughter who is same age as my son was just getting something. He kissed her goodbye!

sounds fun harts! Glad your son is feeling better! My son will be staying home from school today, he was still vomiting yesterday afternoon and he hasn't eaten anything since Sunday. Poor kid. I hope all this illness goes away soon, we're not used to it. Prior to us moving here we rarely got sick and now it seems the children get sick everytime they go back to school after being off for a couple of days or especially from a track break (year round school).

I have no idea how the "ve" got in there.

lol

My little guy is only 2 and half, so no school here. My daughter is 13 now ( it came so fast!) and the last day at school was Friday. She is over at her friends house living up the beginning of her summer break.

aww I know harts. My oldest is 16, and she went out to the movies with her boyfriend twice this weekend. She has 7 days of school left (she's on a traditional calendar) and then she'll be a Jr. in HS. She'll be 17 this fall... I can't believe it. Our middle daughter is 11, our son is 7 and our youngest daughter is 5.
our middle daughter starts middle school in the Fall. Man it does just fly by doesn't it?

If that was karma, Sharon, then Los Angeles is doomed. I hope I'm out of town when the tidal wave and earthquakes hit.

Brendelwoman, I popped in to say exactly what you remarked in comment 6. I certainly don't condone her judgment, but it's a refreshing change of pace to see that celebrity hatred pointed toward someone outside the US.

This is exactly why no one should listen to actors' political statements. This is not a field where success is based on intelligence.

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.

Well actually there are a great number of incredibly intelligent actors. Most actors are well read and well educated. This unfortunately is a sad exception. It's the fame factor. It makes people think that their opinion is more important than ours for some reason. BUT again I don't think being an actor has anything to do with it.

I agree that there are many intelligent actors and actresses out there. Sharon Stone is from an era in movies when women were supposed to be beautiful, and not necessarily smart. Sharon is gifted in the second half of those attributes.

actually, her wikipedia page claims that her IQ was once tested at to be at 154 points, and that she entered college at age 15. it doesn't say whether she actually graduated or not.

on that note, I know some absolutely brilliant people who lack basic social skills and a sense of humanity, and can't control what comes out of their mouth!

I guess she hasn't heard its better to be seen and not heard... Just because you think your something doesn't mean you are... I'm not sure if she can read this or not maybe she has someone on payroll to read for her but lady... SILENCE IS GOLDEN...

YOUR A MOTHER AND SHOULD KNOW BETTER THAN TO SPEAK WITHOUT THINKING FIRST, CRAWL BACK INTO YOUR CAVE YOU LOOK MUCH BETTER THERE.

I didn't mean to say that all actors are ignorant. However, it seems that the most outspoken ones are the most off-base.

Isn't that what terriorsts or other coutries would say if it happened to us?

Wow! Sharon baby you need a lesson in tact. What is it with these people? There has been a rash of tactless comments. Some people just can not handle on the spot interviews it's like their mind goes blank and you can see them trying to think and they just can't quite get there.

As for her use of the word karma the context of her answer would have been much better served by using the work ironic. In light of the fact that the Tibetan people are reaching out to help the Chinese who have a clear history mistreating the Tibetan people.

people like that should not be allowed to talk.

lain, i wasnt trying to call you guys out. I just looked her up and found out incidentally that she is supposed to be a genius. I guess? anyway I just thought I'd share!

Whatever...to each his own.

she shouldnt have said it so publicly, but she is entitled to her opinion, some parts of which I agree with. The Chinese government are extremely difficult from what I can tell. But no doubt I dont have the full story. Anyhoo, she should not have said that so openly.

to Ms. Sharon Stone.

1)Earthquake is natural disaster. Don’t be so stupid and ignorant.
2)If you want to get attention. I suggest you do more porn movies like what you have been doing. Don’t get people’s eyeballs by showing your lack of humanity.
3)By the way, you said you are the Dalai Lama’s friend, then you may have already heard that Dalai is showing his humanity when coming to the Sichuan earthquake.
4)You are so ugly not just on your aging face, but also in your soul and your instinct.
5)If you are not totally out of your mind, I suggest you take back what you said and make an official apology to those victims of the earthquake
6)Human being would never decribe an earthquake as "interesting". Only those sick will feel that happy and amused.

You can judge how ignorant someone is based on whether or not they support all of this 're-instate the Dali Lama' garbage.

The Dali Lama was the head of a fascist regime, in which he was and an upper class had everything and the lower class(99%) of the population were living in squalor and 3rd world conditions.

If you think Tibet was much nicer under the Dali Lama and that these people are far worse off now, you have some basic history to catch up on. =/

I really hate how people misuse the idea of "karma". I don't see how the tragic deaths of thousands of men, women and children are related to a government's decision not to simply relinquish land it's held for hundreds of years and its rather deplorable practice of crushing protest. Would she say the same about Burma's recent natural disaster? Or New Orleans and Katrina? While Sharon Stone is entitled to her opinion, she should have enough taste to keep it to herself and her circle of friends.

someone is looking for some attention

idiotic

a brain washed cold blood! if that's the "religion" she's talking about, then the "religion" is rather cruel! what the hell is that religion?!

That is ridiculous. CHILDREN who did absolutely nothing were hurt. is THAT karma? I swear she is just looking to get the chinese pissed off.

She sounded a touch under the influence of something. It's a shame people like this are the ones that are asked to bring political issues to light for the rest of the world. If you are at a party and had a few glasses of champagne beforehand, maybe it's not the right time to talk about such issues.
