Sharon Stone:China earthquake is karma, page 3

To be quite frank, I think she is voicing what many people seem to be thinking to themselves, regardless of the terminology...

I am not a great fan of the "karma" concept - or maybe just not in the way that the "New Age" is selling it - but I have little doubt that the Chinese brought this on themselves by disregarding nature and its LAWS.

They chose to forget the wisdom of their ancestors and scoff at nature, scoff at living beings - at LIFE itself - by razing entire landscapes and ruthlessly (not to mention foolishly) destroying natural habitats.

Will they learn now?
Who knows.

Unfortunately, it's too late for all the life that's already been annihilated, for all the landscapes that have been irretrievably destroyed.

People just haven't realized that the epicentre is in Aba Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture and slightly more than half of the population in Aba are Tibetans!!! Both Tibetans and Chinese have died and are suffering there!! I feel that some people, just like Stone, are not really concerned about Tibetan's wellbeing but just stand by snickering, see people dying and jump upon another chance to shame China.

No matter what, when there're so many people died due to a disaster, she shouldn't give sarcastic comments. That's the minimum level of respect to the victims.

It doesn't matter who were the victims (and it goes without saying that it is regrettable in any case); besides, the Chinese I've heard - not very many, true - refer to the Tibetans as "Chinese", so it doesn't really matter, from such a point of view.

What you said illustrates the point I was trying to make (with little success, I think): the damage inflicted on natural habitats by the Chinese, unprecedented in scale, knows no boundaries.

Specifically, I was thinking of what is - rightfully - called a "contentious belief", namely:

“The Three Gorges Dam caused the Sichuan earthquake.” The increased load on one of the tectonic plates associated with the 2008 Sichuan earthquake in May 2008 did bear the increased load of the dam's earthworks, structure, and the filling reservoir of water. Other reservoir filling has been noted to cause induced seismicity but a direct correlation to activity of such magnitude as a 7.8 quake has not been previously recorded. While the dam may be a small contributing factor to the seismic activity, experts had agreed earlier in the decade that a significant earthquake would occur in the region in the near future, see: Signs and Predictions of 2008 Sichuan earthquake. As a worst case scenario the seismic activity was hurried along or strengthened; the dam is not the sole source of the 2008 earthquake.

Taken from here.

She has the right to say whatever she wants (including dumb and inconsiderate words), it's called freedom of speech.

In the video the interviewer seems rather fixated on what Sharon Stone said...
My advice for the chinese people is, don't, it's stupid.

Do you know that there are also many many Tibetan people living in Si Chuan and also died in this disaster?
I think she made her point pretty clear in this speech, she did not change her mind because of the sympathy for the loss of lives, but simply because the "Tibetan organization" had touched her, so she decided to do sth good to the "bad" people ——obviously she still believes that is a Karma. What Ms Stone had learnt from "her good friend" was simply this——we should all become ''Saint" , and that's easy as long as you ACT like one——whether we feel truly sorry for the victims from the bottom of our hearts wouldn't matter at all!
We really haven't expect anything wise and reasonable from you, Ms Stone, but to be honest, it hurt so bad when I saw some human being standing there, talking like he/she knew everything, without realizing he/she actually has a brain.

Yes, although freedom of speech opens flood gates for idiots and jerks to open their big mouths, I have great respect to countries that have such value among other things.

And definitely much less respect to countries that have none. Such country, in my opinion, spiritually, is kinda pathetic.

Time has already told me zhangxi, the story of the east and the west. And I have passed my judgment.

I won't discuss this any further, it'll derail the thread.
