What would you say?


Half Full means your possitive
Half empty means your negative

Personally i think it would be half full?

What about you?

I was about to say this is the old question to see if you are positive in life or negative. :P

Bah! I say neither. Normally when you are filling up a glass, you say it is {quater/half/three quaters} full. If it is going down, you will say it is {quater/half/three quaters} empty. That's what I do anyway...

My answer to the original question is that the water is taking up half of the glass' capacity.

It's just a glass with water inside, what more can it be?

The above was to answer the poll question, not the question Deltasix asked.

Either that is a naff joke or I'm just too thick to get it :lol:

Anyways, I voted it's: 'half full'. However, I usually have a negative outlook in life so that theory doesn't always come apparent.

Half empty. To me, the fact that there is some water missing having been drunk - is a negative thing.

Saying half empty also means your half way through emptying it wheras if you are filling it and get to half way its half full because that is what your intendning to do.

Half-empty, cause the glass instead of containing water, for me contained a very good glass of chocolate milk and there-fore is half-empty because i want more but dont have any.

Half empty. And to top it off. Thanks for the water, but I'd really prefer something with a little more taste! :blink:

I say it's twice as big as it needs to be.

In general, it depends on the context.

My outlook- varies depending on my mood :P Usually half full.
