Sharon S-Doh!-ne

It is reported that during an interview in Cannes, Sharon Stone spoke about the recent earthquake in China and China’s treatment of Tibet.
She wondered out loud whether the earthquake was some kind of karmic retribution for China’s treatment of Tibetans.
I have to wonder about the mind that considers the deaths of tens of thousands of innocents to be an appropriate balance to the behaviour of a non-democratic government.
It seems Ms. Stone later regretted her remarks.
“I had absolutely no intention of saying that, which I did say, and now, looking at it on the tape, I look like a complete ding-dong.”
Actually, she looked great. She just sounded like a ding-dong, not least because of the barely coherent way in which she enunciated the rubbish that came out of her mouth.
So really she was more concerned about how she came across, rather than recognising that what she said was insensitive, cruel, ignorant in its understanding of what the term “karma” actually means in Buddhism and, perhaps one could say, utter bollocks.
She regretted that her words had been misunderstood. Misunderstood?
“Tens of thousands of innocent people have died, but that’s fair enough because their government are a shower of bastards.” Hard to misunderstand that.
