I think Oiwan Lam is wrong. Nobody mistranslated, we all understand that she only suggested the idea of karma but it was a bad suggestion and we reacted to it. Just like you are suggesting that you have the only proper English translations. I am suggesting that you are an arrogant idiot.
“Nobody mistranslated”
Can u read Chinese at all?
Shame on you Sam!
Over 70,000 Han & tibetans Chinese died. ovewr 20,000 missing, 370,000 severly injured at the Chinese earthquake. Sharon Stone said that Chinese deserved this deadly quake. many children became parentless,homeless & suffered mental devastation. Sharon stone is evil,inhuman,no compassion,no concience,love to see people suffer. she will be punished by God. tibetans at the quake were saying that tibetans & han - we are all chinese we should united together, but sharon stone tried very hard to separate the 2 ethinic group & create animosity in between them.
tibetans don’t think they are chinese, tibet is currently occupied by the chinese, tibet is under chinese oppression, tibetans were tortured or killed for refusing to submit, the recent earth quake in china provides a golden opportunity for the chinese to convert themselves from victimizers to victims.
sharon stone spoke the truth, what you reap is what you sow
The land of tibet was part of China for more than 1,400 yrs. At that time the present ethnic tibetan were not even there. tibet land lives several ethnic groups. Tibet is autonomous region & is rule by tibetans. Majority of ethnic groups in tibet want to be under China & continue to rule by themselves. The recent rioters (300/400 people trouble makers) were encouraged by dalia lama to riot. The rioters burned down 6 hospitals in Lahsa,schools,looted the shops before burned it,attacked & killed many local tibetans people. CNN reporters lied about many reporting, ambulance van as police van,healthcare workers helping the injured as police attacking people, There small group of trouble makers with dalia lama outside tibet have no right to make decision(s) for the majority of people live in tibet area that they are self- rule & wanted to remain with China. Tibet when it was under dalia lama (extremely poverty,lots of corruption,lack of healthcare,lack of school,lack of foods) Over the years China have built many hospitals,schools,colleges,universities,roads,railway - carry fresh vegetables,fruits to Lahsa at a bargain price,all the local products can be carried away to be sold, with railway people can travel in faster speed & in comfort at bargain price. Tremendously improve local living standard,income,housing,employment,supply of necessary goods.
My native language is English and Ms Stones comments were uninformed, foolish, and hateful. My wife is native Han Chinese and the way it was translated on the websites she view, was accurate. I would like to know how a country as large as China can share it’s fate under one “karma”. I was under the impression that karma was something that effected an individual because of their way of living, not a collected system for unconnected individuals. I lean more toward the dao, so I am not informed on this.
Thank you
qwerty133: you have never been to tibet. tibetans consider themself as tibetan Chinese. tibet land were part of China for over 1,400 yrs. At that time the present ethnic tibetans were not there. tribet land lives many groups of ethnic minorities & are self ruled.if you have concience you will not talk about something you have not see for yourself or you do not know - many reporters & trouble makers lied. recently CNN reporters lied about their reports & was criticised by their fellow journalists. Ambulance vans reported as police vans,healthcare workers were helping the injured that were attacked by rioters were accused by CNN reporters as police. Local tibetans,han,muslims,include other ethnic group live in tibet were attacked,even killed by the rioters incited by dalia lama group. qwerty133: you by talking about something beyond your interlectual capacity that you are showing your ignorant. So the
less you say the better for you your blind accusations is very serious defamation. Otherwise you will be punished by God.
She must learn from someone ? Who is Sharon Stone’s karma teacher?
Mis-translation or otherwise you have to admit that this is most insensitive thing to say. You should know that being a public figure, together with wealth and fame there is a price to pay, that is be a role model to their young admirers. So they have to be extremely careful of their actions and public speeches. They have great influence on other people thinking it is alright to say that because my hero also said it. This is the moral side.
On the commercial side when they sign contract for advertisement they are obliged to maintain a good image. Dior did not pay her big dollars to piss off the potential customers.
In fact what have Edison Chan and Celicia Cheung done to hurt the uninvolved people? It’s just that the photos have been uploaded by someone else and that has set a bad example.
Mel Gibson said something about the Jews when he was drunk and he also paid for it. Sharon Stone was sober. So please no more excuses for her.
By the way forgot to mention. I didn’t have a chance to read the Chinese translation. not readily available here and my PC is not set up to read Chinese. I watched the video clip and I was offended. I guess the translation is “Bo-ying” in Cantonese or “Bau-Yin” in Putonghua. That is how I would translate it. I don’t think I have lost my Chinese capability although it has been 50 years in another country.
dalai liar lama (as he is known in Tibet) brain washed Richard Gere, Uma Thurman, Harrison Ford, sharon stone… etc to do his dirty works of fabricating & telling lies about Tibet & tibetans. Tibet is an autonomous region (self-ruled by the local residents) There are many ethnic groups live in tibet…such as Lhoba, Moinba, Naxi, NU, Drung, Mongolian, Sherpa, Han, Hui, Deng, Tibetan.
The land of tibet was part of China for more than 1,400 yrs. At that time the present ethnic tibetan were not even there. The majority (more than 99% of tibet residents ) they considered themselves Chinese & wanted to remain as part of China. They disagreed with dalai liar lama for independent tibet, & the land of tibet political future is for the local Tibetans (consists of many ethnic groups) to decide & they do not want dalia liar lama alone to decide for them. Those few trouble- makers (dalai liar lama & his little group plan & incite to loot & riot even killing his own tibetans) cannot detate policy for them & from time to time try to get a few troublemakers (dressed up as monks) to loot & riot. Foreigners visit tibet never seen those lies that told by dalai liar lama. Dalai Lama had done towards his own people when he enslaved, tortured and murdered Tibetans under his rule as a self-proclaimed god. High priests (monks) owned all the land & ordinary people work for them for little food. High priests did not provide any schooling, health care…….etc. Tibetans used to slaughter their animals any where & every where & created very unsanitary conditions (for food & environment) & China central government built several animal slaughter houses for them. & also built indoor markets for them to sell foods & produce. The March 08 riot was instigated by dalai liar lama, criminals were dressed up as monks burned down 6 hospitals, looted the shops before burn them (people were burned to death in their shops), killed local tibetan security personnel (they are self-ruled).
Over the years China have built many hospitals, schools, colleges, universities, roads, railway - carry fresh vegetables, fruits to Lahsa at a bargain price, all the local products can be carried away to be sold, with railway people can travel in faster speed & in comfort at bargain price. Tremendously improve local living standard, income, housing, employment, supply of daily necessary goods.dalia liar lama create more troubles for the people in tibet by making their life miserable & unbearable (in rioting & looting by his incited criminals). tibetans used to die of very young age due to they drink very high fat content yak (tibetan cattle) milk & it was the Han who brought to them & continue regularly supplied them with tea to deal with high fat in their diet.
