A 7.8 magnitude earthquake ripped through China on May 12 killing almost 80,000 people and trapping thousands more under the rubble. On Sunday, a 6.0 magnitude aftershock hit Sichuan province killing six more and injuring around 1,000. It was a disaster in no uncertain terms.

<p>A 7.8 magnitude earthquake ripped through <a href="http://theblemish.com/tag/china/" class="st_tag internal_tag" rel="tag" title="Posts tagged with china">China</a> on May 12 killing almost 80,000 people and trapping thousands more under the rubble. On Sunday, a 6.0 magnitude aftershock hit Sichuan province killing six more and injuring around 1,000. It was a disaster in no uncertain terms.</p>
<p>Last Thursday during a red carpet interview in Cannes, <a href="http://theblemish.com/tag/sharon-stone/" class="st_tag internal_tag" rel="tag" title="Posts tagged with sharon stone">Sharon Stone</a> said <a href="http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,358402,00.html" target="_blank">they deserved it</a> because she doesn&#8217;t like how the Chinese are treating the Tibetans. She also questioned how the United States should handle the Olympics because <a href="http://theblemish.com/tag/china/" class="st_tag internal_tag" rel="tag" title="Posts tagged with china">China</a> isn&#8217;t being nice to the Dalia Lama, &#8220;who&#8217;s a good friend of mine.&#8221;</p>
<blockquote><p>&#8220;Then all this earthquake and all this stuff happened, and I thought, is that karma? When youâ€™re not nice, that the bad things happen to you?&#8221; said the 50-year-old star.</p>
<p>But the &#8220;Basic Instinct&#8221; actress had a change of heart when she got a letter from the Tibetan Foundation saying the organization wanted to be helpful to the quake victims. Stone was humbled.</p>
<p>&#8220;That made me cry,&#8221; she said. &#8220;Sometimes you have to learn to put your head down and be of service, even to people who aren&#8217;t nice to you. That&#8217;s a big lesson for me.&#8221;</p></blockquote>
<p>Isn&#8217;t that big of Sharon? She&#8217;s so gracious. I bet when she walks down the street and sees an Asian person, Sharon will stop them and tell them to &#8220;stop being mean to the Dalai Lama and FREE TIBET you Chinese jerk.&#8221; They&#8217;ll tell her in perfect English that they&#8217;re Japanese and Sharon will look directly at them, confused, and shout, &#8220;I CAN&#8217;T UNDERSTAND YOU!&#8221; as if they were deaf and then proceed to walk away indignant.</p>
