APOLYTON T-Shirt SLOGANS

[Adagio]

Could someone please explain this one:

I CIV therefore I am

I just don't get it, it really sounds like childrens language???

[Winston]

"Just one more post".

It's the least poor choice of the ones given. I seem to recall there were some better suggestions in the thread, but anyway - suffice to say, I'll certainly buy a T-shirt if it reads Just one more post and features the Apolyton logo.

I'll give you a chance to think first, but you've never heard the actual line from which this is borrowed?

I'll like to try and see if I remember it...
Is it "Cogito ergo sum"?
(Or something, my English spelling could be better )

I have thought about and have never heard anything like it before, except when children talks

It's from some great philosopher I don't recall by name, it's a word play from "I think, therefore I am". In Latin, it's what Jeje2 said, cogito ego. (It's ego, not ergo, mind you Jeje).

[Buck Birdseed]

It is "Ergo" (meaning "therefore") not "Ego" (meaning "the self"). Cogito - I think, Ergo - Therefore, Sum - I am.

The man who said it was french philosopher René Descartes and it has quickly becmoe one of philosophy's most famous quotes. To understand it, you have to realise the context within which it was said. Descartes was a sceptic, one of the most virulently so in modern times, and doubted everything he saw and percieved. He even doubted his own existence, but came to the conclusion that, since he was thinking about whether he existed or not, he must exist at least when he was thinking (for who else would be doing the thinking if not him)?

Ah yes, Latin, where the person is hidden in the verb, yes.

I voted for "Get Civilized", but I also think that it is more cool without the exclamation mark.

But I also like "you have unleashed a horde of barbarians!". Maybe there should be two t-shirts...

Get Civilized. But not with the exclamation mark. Just the period.

Agreed.

[Kassiopeia]

[Narck]

Either with a . or without anything

Now this explains lots

I can't believe that the less interesting slogan seems to make it. "Get civilized!" could be on any T-Shirt, not only on that of Civvers.
