What do you think of actress Sharon Stone's comment that the China earthquake was because of "bad karma"?

Question

Stone's remarks, made Thursday at the Festival de Cannes, pondered a link between the earthquake -- which to date has taken the lives of more than 65,000 -- and China's treatment of ethnic Tibetans and their exiled spiritual leader, the Dalai Lama, whom she called "a good friend."

Answer 1

Anyone got any masking tape? Pathetic woman, she really ought to apolgize to the civilised world for such a stupid statement.

Answer 2

Sharon Stone is for lusting over, not for listening to. Why would anybody pay the least attention?

Answer 3

I've heard dumber things attributed to Karma..She doesn't have a right to free speech?

Answer 4

Regardless of how sympathetic you feel for the Tibetans, Ms. Stone's remarks were outrageous.  For one thing I don't think natural disasters are ever "punishment" of a people for doing anything.   The Chinese government may be to blame for a lot of tyrannical behavior but it absolutely silly to think it justifies thousands of innocent men, women and children dying under fallen masonry.
