The thing that is funny is that those who embrace this concept are also those likely to embrace existentialism.

Clinton does strike me as the type of person who needs other people to reinforce his self-image. He would never consider himself objectively good - he could only define himself as good by making other people see him in that way.

No, it's a word describing an African worldview, which translates as "I am because you are," and which means that individuals need other people to be fulfilled.

What rubbish. The fact is, that individuals need to fulfill other people's needs. That's why you have to have a job to get money. You have to fulfill somebody else's need to get yours met. That's the essence of the free market dynamic. It's how we get along and make prosperity.

Why ANYBODY would hold up an African world view of anything as a model is beyond me. Seems to me that the African world view has pretty much kept the continent of Africa mired in poverty, violence and bondage.

Honest to God, Bill Clinton is just insufferable. Like he goes through life thinking "I am because you are," when in reality it's been well domonstrated for years that his own personal worldview is exactly the opposite.

"Think of others as greater than yourself."

"Do unto others as you would have them do unto you."

"Greater love hath no man, than he give up his life for his brother."

Guess what direction and how far we need to go, to find these sentiments.

LOL... I thought this was one of Pee Wee Herman's sayings.

"Not surprised that these anti-americans cannot find American values and sayings to live by."

It's just more multicultural nonsense from this idiot.

Ubuntu World Tour- next stop Khartoum!

Bill will persuade the Sudanese to trade in sharia for unbuntu. Or lose his head trying.
