I say it's entirely full: half with water, half with air. :3

Heh. xDD Took the words right out of my mouth. I do agree.

I guess half full represents the optimist and half empty represents a pesimist. I don't really care either way so what does that make me? o.o

It's neither half full or half empty. I'm not even thirsty.

But I am in the mood for a sandwich.

Which one do YOU tend to say?? o.0?
I tend to say half-empty for some unknown reason.

Please discuss. ^^


It depends. Is my goal for the object to be empty or full?

I say that the state of the glass and liquid ratio is entirely dependant on what brought it to that state. If liquid was poured out to bring it to the halfway mark, then it is half empty. If liquid was added to bring it to that mark, then it is half full.

Should this question ever be asked to me in person though, I'll likely respond by asking "Who cares, all I want to know is why you didn't fill it all the way up, and if you did then who the hell has been drinking my drink?"


I was going to say something like this.

I suppose the only way to nix this would be the following:

You are in an otherwise empty room. There is a table in the center. There is a glass on the table. It contains about half of its volume in liquid. Given no further clue to the circumstances, is it half full, or half empty?

Simple. If you have no idea if the glass was filled to that point or emptied to that point, then it is simply half a glass of liquid. Saying its half full or half empty implies that you are aware of its previous state, thus if you have no clue one must say that it is half a glass of liquid.

Honestly, it depends on what I am facing.If it is abortion or debt or something negative, of course I am going to look at it negatively. For the most part I would say I look for the silver lining an I wait until things are going good to look at the glass half full. I am not a hippy , LOL j/k I am a realist.

I'm more inclined to say half full, because I'm too lazy to make changes. That goes against our greedy nature though, so the majority of us should be saying half empty, not because life's a b-tch and we're all depressed, but because if we acknowledged the problem, instead of denying it, the problem might be able to be fixed, or at least improved. I'm content with "Why fix what isn't broken?" though.

Half full. Just because, I haven't fulfilled what I want to do yet, leaving an empty feeling.

Depends on the situation, actually.
XD
When Mom asks me how much is left in the milk jug, I always say, "It's half full."
Come to think of it, I actually don't really say, "half empty."
I say, "Awww, I drank half of my milk!" crying
Or something along those lines.
xD
Though, usually I'll say, "Gimme more!!!" =DDD
