Train Wrecks
Sharon Stone Calls Chinese Earthquake "Karma"

When is a natural disaster a good thing? When the afflicted country commits human rights violations -- at least according to Sharon Stone.


Stone gave an interview while on the red carpet at Cannes this weekend in which -- after recounting all of China's atrocities -- she wondered, "All these earthquake and stuff happened and I thought, 'Is that karma?' When you are not nice that bad things happen to you." My name is Sharon!

Sharon went on to say she has come around and no longer thinks the death of over 60,000 people is cosmic payback. "Basic Instinct 2" is a whole other story.

61. Oh well, I dunno about karma, but China is notorious for human and animal rights' viloations. They just don't slaughter dogs and cats they torture them for days before eating them. They hang large masitffs and Saint Bernards upside down for 3 days and beat them because they think the adrenaline and fear and torture makes the meat taste better. Thye keep bears in cages for their bile where they can hardly stand up straight or move. Cruel, cruel. One thing to do quick slaugher for food, hell are cats and dogs need meat they can't live on a head of lettuce. Watch the videos of animal torture on youtube in China or look it up if you don't believe me. Also alot of their poltical prisoners end up being invioluntary organ donors which is sold to the U.S. Karma? Just maybe. Unfortunately, nature isn't a respecter of persons and will destroy the good with the bad to make a point when its creatures and environment are tortured. The planet will fight back.

62. What a disgusting thing to say. I suppose the thousands of children who died were responsible for the actions of their government?

Can Sharon please explain how she applies the same logic to September the 11th? Or does karma only apply if you're not a yank?

63. It's so funny how when some celebrity shares a not so popular opinion, it's all "ohh when will celebrities shut their mouthes.. we don't want to hear" blah blah blah.. Most people eat up celebrity opinions like an addict eats vicodin. They think their opinion matters, and people want and need to hear it.. sad but almost true. Celebrity and politics are two things that do not mix at all.. but it doesn't stop silly people from eating it all up. Stop endorsing every little thing a celebrity says and does then you'll actually have rights to complain about celebrity opinions.

66. Is it Karma when a 15 year old girl is kidnapped and raped because
she did not clean her room like her parents asked? I understand the whole
karma thing, but it has to be in certain contexts.

67. I totall disagree with her.She was crazy to say this stupid remark and she was completely inhuman.If this happened to her family, would she say in the same way? So many lifves lost in such a severe natural disaster, why she could be so cool???

68. Typical Hollywood. This is why 95% of the US population realize that actor-morons should not be taken seriously and are, in fact, clowns. It is our fault though - we give them too much money and praise - they now feel like they are qualified to speak on social issues. SHOWING YOUR BEAV IN A MOVIE DOESN'T QUALIFY YOU TO PROVIDE VALID SOCIAL COMMENTARY!!!

Sorry - so tired of these folks actually believing they are more important than us 'commoners' and making irresponsible statements like this.

69. Sharon should run for public office...*roll my eyes*

70. I can see part of her point about the govt. I bet they are regretting their "1 child only policy" now. And for those who say the ordinary people have not done anything wrong, I beg to differ. Drowning or abandoning their baby girls for not being boys, their record as earlier posters have mentioned regarding animal abuse...I hope some of the soldiers lost family members. After all this is an army that shot and killed MONKS for crying out loud. Can you imagine our army killing priests, nuns, or rabbis in the street for protesting abortion or anti-death penalty, etc.?? China is a pretty messed up place.

71. I wonder what 'karma' has in store for fat-mouthed, know-it all, spoiled rotten millionaires who say horrible things on the pretentious pulpit that is the red-carpet...I know what I HOPE it is.

72. UMM She's right!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! For someone who works with China on a day to day basis, these people are not the least bit compassionate or ethical. They are greedy as HELL and always lie. ALWAYS. And because they just MUST build sky scraper buildings made of pure steel, our economy is f$^&ing up!!!!!

73. Thanks so much for posting this video. I thought the media would just look past it.

Its one thing to disagree witht he Chinese government, its another thing to say its karma on all of its residents.

Sharon Stone needs to keep her mouth shut.
