(I mean that in a good way)She made a comment on the recent earthquake in China as karma being brought back for abusing Tibet. Here is the full story: http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/entertainment/7423089.stm

I wouldn't call it typically Piscean, but typically self-absorbed Hollywood clueless about the rest of the world? Yes.You know, if it's karma that hundreds of thousands of poor, innocent Chinese people must suffer like this because the actions a handful of arrogant government officials who they likely had NOTHING do to with bringing into power, then I'm sorry, karma is nothing but pure bull****. I'm surprise Stone didn't show up on Olbermann's worst persons list for this. How can you in good conscious - Pisces or not - accuse all those poor people, most of whom live in very isolated villages and are largely cut off from modern China, of being deserving of this tragedy because of their government "hasn't been very nice" to Tibeteans? Stone might be a Pisces, but she's as heartless as she is stupid. IP: Logged |

Hmm. Perhaps, Mercury. I don't like her either. I was referring to her usage of words, I guess. "karma, kindness, etc" This is the only article I've ever read about her "thoughts", and it contains these spiritual terms - ill used or not. ------------------

Mercury2008, I'm with you. I couldn't believe what she said. As an American, if she believes that those poor people deserved the earthquake based on their leaders' decisions, she should be looking at OUR government and living in fear of the 'karma' that apparently we should all deserve. Not Piscean, just clueless. IP: Logged |

Honestly, she needs to learn to open her mouth when her legs are closed. I can see the karmic analogy on some level but it's pretty stupid of her! IP: Logged |

It is inappropriate,
since the citizens of China
are not responsible for the actions
(and karma) of the Chinese government.
At least, it is difficult to determine
what power they have over their government.I'm not saying Ms. Stone ought to be crucified in the press,
and have her movies and ads boycotted all over China.
I'm just saying it was an inapropriate comment,
like the kind I tend to make all day long.
 However, I am glad the comments were made,
as this stupid contraversy may be the only thing
capable of raising awareness about the plight of Tibet.
People dont seem to care that human rights are at stake,
but they sure do love a juicy piece of gossip.  IP: Logged |

You know, there's something the media and responsibility. This is why actors should just stick to their dayjobs.

Good pun Lala.  I have to agree with you on this HSC, what she said didn't really take into perspective the pain and suffering of the people in China who died. As for this being karma against China for it's treatment of Tibet, I suppose it's possible, but she makes the same error that people who hate and attack the US make. They assume that the average US citizen is responsible for the war in Iraq and other things they see as atrocities. I do, however, find it a bit ironic that the US spends time focusing on China's human rights, we in the US certainly don't have that area completely under control. We have a lot of work to do in that arena as well. IP: Logged |

I absolutely hate it when people throw around the word "karma." Karma is the weighing of all of the good deeds and bad you have done in your LIFETIME to see how you should be treated in your NEXT LIFE, not this one. Sharon Stone is an idiot. With that logic, people could say that 9/11 was "karma" for what we've done in the middle east.IP: Logged |

Edgar Cayce on Karma (Wikipedia):Karma is the meeting of oneself in the present through thoughts and deeds from the past. Karma is tied to the concept of reincarnation and balance. Karma is neither a debt that must be paid according to some universal tally sheet, nor is it necessarily a set of specific circumstances that must be experienced because of deeds or misdeeds perpetrated in the past. Karma is simply a memory. It is a pool of information that the subconscious mind draws upon and can utilize in the present. It has elements that are positive as well as those which may seem negative.
Edit: I posted just to define the concept of Karma.

You, people, sound bitter. Everyone has the right to express his/her opinion. Have you ever heared something about freedom of speech ? Attacking someone, if you just don't like his/her opinion, is simply wrong. And you are doing it. And, I think, it's primitive thinking to involve here Pisces sign.
P.S. Sharon is still looking very good. IP: Logged |

Hey i'm not bitter and i'm not attacking, neither are most posters... how can you say "Freedom of Speech" when you are talking about the USA - that's laughable.
Sharon Stone is a woman who used sex to get to where she is now, lives in tinseltown which cannot be good for one's health, looks great thanks to her face-lift and should really be more humble and sensitive to others feelings! PLUS, perhaps you can tell me where freedom of speech comes into it when over 10,000 human beings have lost their life?

I agree with Jan_A. The concept of Karma is different for different people. The wiki might be just be one point of view. So don’t go by just your understanding of things and think other’s understandings of lesser value. Karma may not be just from this life, it can be accumulation of past lives (Hinduism….maybe Buddhism also has similar concept). It could also be universal (rather than Karma for some its Natures way of working). For some spiritual persons death hardly means anything that they don't see it gravely. I think Pisces understanding of life and death along with spiritualism is quiet different, which others may not understand/agree or be on same page. There is no point in vilifying someone just because one cannot grasp the meaning of their thoughts. @amowls
If someone doesn't believe in karma, that’s fine; however it doesn't mean that who believes in it should be termed an idiot. Heart-shaped Cross Its interesting the thread subject says ‘its so Piscean’. Lot of people views Pisces being strong spiritually. So if its so Piscean it should also be so spiritual

I do totally understand the meaning of her thoughts Villy. I live my life consciously aware of karmic debt. You will not hear me saying that chinese victims deserved to die cos of their countries karma though - that is sick and totally inappropriate. I would never imply to my friends, let alone publicly that 9/11 was karma for what the USA did to the American Indians and therefore they all deserve to die and tough **** . What kind of selfish and unevolved attitude is that??? Sharon Stone will herself get karma for her negative attitude... so it's kinda stupid and futile LOL IP: Logged |

Personally, l have seen few truly spiritual pisceans... mostly, they are just superficially spiritual!It is one thing to peach and quite another to practice what you preach. I am quite bored actually of Pisceans getting the "spiritual child" label... does anyone know why they are labeled this in such a generalized way when l can think of few pisceans whom are actually spiritual?

Well its her opinion rather ppl think it was a smart thing to say or not..And I am sure there is some other ppl out there that have that same opinon. And the fact that she is a Pisces has nothing to do with how she views that situation...Don't know why ppl keep putting Astrology into every thing a person does or says..We are shaped by more then astrology..
Some one said that Sharon Stone got to where she is through using sex..
How do you know that, is that a fact or your opinon.. PPl said the same thing about New ORleans when Hurricane Katrina hit..They said New Orleans was cursed for all the evil things that has gone on down there from way back when up until now..{{shrugs}} IP: Logged |
