Maybe I should get Orange to sponsor my lectures! :D<BR/><BR/>It's a shame that more advertising can't be inspirational like this. I hope the campaign is a great success for Orange.Stevehttp://www.sgi-uk.orgnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7023016763415745551.post-76410954933687801682008-10-01T07:19:00.000+01:002008-10-01T07:19:00.000+01:00No, I'M SpartacusSimonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03772289434787056190noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7023016763415745551.post-70476776440724030332008-09-30T09:43:00.000+01:002008-09-30T09:43:00.000+01:00Other famous 'I am's :<BR/>"I am the greatest" - Mohammed Ali<BR/>"I am what I am" - Gloria Gaynor<BR/>"I am the walrus" - John Lennon<BR/>"I am Kloot" - a band<BR/>"I am Spartacus" - from Spartacus<BR/>I am Brian and so's my wife" from - Life of Brian<BR/>"Iams" - cat foodRusshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00254395719984827281noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7023016763415745551.post-41820290370531178792008-09-29T13:43:00.000+01:002008-09-29T13:43:00.000+01:00"A is A". I agree... but the nature of A is A is influenced by the rest of the alphabet. If A is A, A is not B. If B didn't exist, the statement "A is not B" is no longer valid and thereby changes the nature of A, i.e. "not B'. Same is true if we the alphabet was different so that B was a different fictional character. (Sorry for the philosophical tangent).<BR/><BR/>We ARE who we are because of everyone around us. If they weren't there or were different, the nature of us would be changed, perhaps not in an obvious way, but changed nonetheless. Imagine if your mother died just after you were born, you would be different.<BR/><BR/>The slogan is pretty damn cool... all I can say is that the person who came up with it must have got a small fortune in bonuses. :)Frodowww.jamiewestband.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7023016763415745551.post-75967923174489437832008-09-23T18:19:00.001+01:002008-09-23T18:19:00.001+01:00i think that slogan is awsom.<BR/><BR/>makes me think wat kind of a person i am and y m i that person and the answere is beacuse of eveyone.<BR/><BR/><BR/>thnkx to who ever wrote this slogan,,,,<BR/><BR/><BR/>fantastic...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7023016763415745551.post-15562800312776066442008-08-13T20:25:00.000+01:002008-08-13T20:25:00.000+01:00"I am who I am because of everyone" - What a bloody wrong concept of identity.<BR/><BR/>It shows that the person who made up the slogan can't place boundaries on his own identity - a sign of psychosis.<BR/><BR/>A person is who they are because of their personality traits, memories, ideas, the sense of self, consciousness, etc. NOT because of external factors or others' identities.<BR/><BR/>It doesn't take a philosophy professor to understand what identity is.<BR/><BR/>"A is A".Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7023016763415745551.post-77205306373345026802008-07-25T08:15:00.000+01:002008-07-25T08:15:00.000+01:00I refuse to take responsibility for your window licking, special bus riding, dribbling, pants crapping, gym seat sniffing f*cked up personality.<BR/><BR/>Of course, I'm just kidding, I think you're fabulous.Simonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03772289434787056190noreply@blogger.com
