Sharon Stone: Karmic Media Whore

How about that Sharon Stone comment? Here is the complete comment as she spoke it:

“Well you know it was very interesting because at first I’m, you know, not happy about the way the Chinese are treating the Tibetans because I don’t think anyone should be unkind to anyone else. And so, I have been very concerned about how to think and what to do about that because I don’t like that and I’ve been just, you know, concerned about, oh, how should we deal with the Olympics because, they’re not being nice to the Dalai Lama who’s a good friend of mine. And then all this earthquake and all this stuff happened and I thought is that Karma? When you’re not nice that the bad things happen to you, and then I got a letter from the Tibetan Foundation that they wanted to go and be helpful, and that made me cry. And they asked me if I would write a quote about that, and I said, I would, that 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. And that that’s a big lesson for me.”

OK Sharon. First, you get the Stupid Blonde Rich Bitch of the World award from me. How insensitive, undiplomatic, inconsiderate, tactless, and ignorant can one person be? Obviously, you don't understand Karma at all.

Karma would be that the Chinese government would be overthrown for their civil rights violations and repression by the civilian population and the Chinese army. Karma is NOT that millions of innocent Chinese are homeless, or have lost their lives, their loved ones, their homes, and their livelihoods. These people have done nothing to deserve this.

You know what? Shit happens. And you're living, walking, breathing and (unfortunately for the rest of us) talking proof of that, Ms. Stone. Interpreting the earthquake as Karmic retribution on the Chinese people in general just because you don't like how the government is treating a certain group of people, is very, very "unkind".

To say that the misery of those millions of Chinese is a direct outcome of the Chinese government's crackdown on Tibetans is so unbelievably unkind and thoughtless - I can't even describe my thoughts of how incensed I am by your statement. I hope no one has to tell you how horribly hurtful your statement is towards the Chinese people - those who have done nothing to deserve this "karmic retribution" you speak of, because they are as much a victim of their government as the Tibetans. And if you really knew anything about the Chinese, you'd know that whenever the Chinese people have demonstrations against the government, their government is just as quick and brutal in shutting them down as they have been with Tibet. But that doesn't seem to matter to you... only Tibetans matter, because the Dalai Lama is a friend of yours, and he's been treated unkindly.

OH, and are we to really believe that the Dalai Lama is a friend of yours? Have him over for dinner lately? Exchange gifts at Christmas? Do a little girly-talk on the cell phone? Define friend for me. I don't see the Dalai Lama hanging out with you or coming over to your dinner parties because he is a friend. I have a suspicion (probably highly justified) that you use the term "friend" rather loosely, as do most Hollywood types. I do believe that the Dalai Lama is an adult and quite capable of handling injustices done to him just fine - and I believe that your name-dropping, quite inappropriate in your statement, is to show how "well-connected" you seem to think you are. He doesn't need you to stand up for him. He's a big boy and has handled his own affairs quite well without you shooting off your mouth to tell China to quit picking on him. And I highly doubt he's got you in his cell phone's "circle of friends" so he can call you for free and get the latest on your opinion of how China is not being "nice" to him. He has greater concerns than that. Trust me, you are not his "friend".

What a media whore you are. You have done more harm to yourself on a global nature than you could ever anticipate. Oh, but, you didn't anticipate it because you didn't even think through your answer before you started talking.

Next time you are concerned about "how to think" about something, you need to put a lock on those thin, cruel lips of yours and not say anything. That would be the kindest thing you could do for anyone.
