Before you get too angry about that Sharon Stone thing...

I know a lot of people in China were shocked and angered by Sharon Stone's comments about the earthquake in Sichuan.

I won't go too into the merits of her statement,  other than to say that it was somewhat akin to people blaming Hurricane Katrina or 9/11 on gay people.... 

But just to put it into to context about why we shouldn't really be surprised to hear stupid things coming out of Sharon Stones mouth in the first place:

Video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=99XYUgpG2yQBelieve it or not,  that video was apparently taken at the very same event in Cannes where she made the 'karma' remark... 

...Just wanted my Chinese friends to know that they aren't being picked on by this shining beacon of kindness, morality and righteous behavior. :-P

E - yes, exactly. actually to say that 9/11 was a direct result of US foreign policy is something that most experts in the subject won't even argue but even suggesting publicly is enough to get some Americans furious ('they hate us for our freedom!')...

Flagday - yes I agree to some extend. this is something that happens often... blaming the Mexicans or French or 'liberal media' for any given problem... The Chinese and Korean politicians like using patriotism to mask internal problems... happens ALL the time... par for the course. Unfortunately it works... but in Sharon Stone's case, she put her foot in her own mouth without prompting. She seems to have an ability to make herself into a punching bag

flagday: yes, thats the sad thing, she was actually /trying/ to say something positive about the tibetan people's view on the world, but inadvertently managed to put her foot in her mouth (to Chinese listeners at least).

unwounclock: are you serious? so no one in the world should be criticizing america? have you been to China? have you seen what its really like there? lots of things worth criticizing... like "hey, you should try to help all those poor rural people who are working 80 hrs/ week but still starving to death while people in the cities drive benzs and use 100 RMB bills like kleenex."

Religious people who say the conflicts and natural disasters in the world are karmic or predicted in the bible are committing intellectual terrorism and are extremely dangerous. Christian fundamentalists believe what's going on in the Middle East is the beginning of the rapture and embrace it because that means Jesus Christ will come back. How can we confront the problems in the modern world with sanity and diplomacy when religious extremists believe that and worse of all, welcome it?
