Half full or half empty?

[UK]

I know very well this was a popular poll on Wii vote channel, but I was wondering- what do you say? It would be interesting to know. I say half full, because to me, that makes more sense. What do you say?

[Ant-Shimmin]

Half Empty

[Guest Stefkov]

Depends how I feel.

 

(Another optimist/pessimist poll?)

[Strider]

Half empty for me.

 

But it depends:

 

If someone is drinking it, then it is emptying so therefore half empty.

 

However if someone is filling it then it is becoming full so half full.

[AshMat]

Half empty for me.

This.

If it's in the process of getting emptied, half empty. If it's in the process of getting filled up, half full. It depends on the situation.

 

If I don't know if it's in pre process of getting filled or emptied, I guess what is the most logical assumption.

 

 

So, I say both.

[Mr.X]

Basically neither, I'm an optimistic pessimist(sp??).

[Shorty]

I say: A volume of 50% of the total available capacity.

It's not even a competition. It's half full. Half empty doesn't even make sense, the point is there's stuff in it. A glass is empty all the time, why would you even refer to it as partly empty when it's not empty?

 

It's a fact dammit

[Paj!]

Yeah it depends. If someone has drunk half, then it's half empty, and if its only been filled to half way, its half full.

Exactly! Took the words right from my mouth.

[Ginger_Chris]

As a physicist my answer would be: the glass contains exactly 50% of its maximum capacity.

 

And anyway, no-one really cares about the glass, its all about the liquid. I'd prefer to say there's x ml of liquid, because both 50% and half empty/full both mean absolutely nothing without further information.

[EEVILMURRAY]

I normally say half full, but that doesn't stop me from being a negative bastard.

The reason this question came about is about how you optimistic you are

 

half empty = pesimist

half full = optimist.

half empty = pesimist

half full = optimist.

 

Not necessarily: it also depends what is in the cup.

As long as it has beer in it, Im happy.

I was thinking of answering like this, but you beat me too it.

[theguyfromspark]

I'm a realist.

The glass is both half empty, and half full

[Roostophe]

I couldn't give a shiny one, I'm afraid.

[mariosmentor]

I vote for just shut up and drink it.

[Mundi]

Usually when people think theyre clever and tell me this i usually sigh cover my face with my hands say: Who the fuck hasn´t heard this 20 times before...

[Gaijin von Snikbah]

Half full. It can be filled with more sweetness. The barkeeper is a nice guy.

[Gatoman]

i say a circle has no begining
