Half-empty for sure. But that's not necessarily a bad thing.

I agree. People make a big deal about looking at how full the glass is, asif the missing half isn't important. Maybe I didn't like what was in the glass to begin with.

Time and age does not matter to me at all. Voted for Half-empty, but I would never complain about it.

Half empty.

the very concept of a midpoint is retarded. You could die at any point. Die in a car crash at 40 and your 20th birthday was your midlife crisis.

I refuse to answer based on the idiocy of the question.

Half empty. I mean, I look at it this way. A glass is only half full if it's half way filled while you're filling it up. If you're drinking out of the glass, it's emptying.

Except middle age is basically 35-45. Chances are you won't die before 50, nor will you live until 90. Of course, since we're a new generation, we could live longer. But middle-age is still middle-age.

I picked half full because I'm a rebel.

YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH




Posted by CrystalPain

half empty since your draining it
but in terms of experience its half full...
AHHH~! Headache!

I don't like saying half-empty, doesn't make much sense to me. It's like saying half-zero or something.




Posted by Vampiro V. Empire

It makes perfect sense.

Linguistically, not logicially.

Linguistically, saying half full is just as wrong as saying half empty. How can something that is full only be half full when the word full indicates completely filled? Either it's full, or it's half filled, or it's empty... English has rules like this to prevent such ambiguities.


Anyway, why the **** is an American telling a british person English grammar? This is all ****ed up.

Yes it does. You're just looking at it from a weird viewpoint that doesn't logically make sense!

The glass is always full. It is not as though the "empty" space in the glass is a vacuum; it's filled with air.

I've now taken an oath to do more outrageous things with my life -- so, hopefully my mid-life philosophy until now has been changed to half-empty. I plan to live the $@%# out of my pre-mid aged years until I'll have to be an old cranky man. But no! I'll now live the $@%# out of all my years.

Signed!

It's pretty simple: If you're filling the glass to the halfway point it's half-full. If you've drained the glass to the halfway point it's half-empty. Since life is always draining away, middle-age would be half-empty. Seems fairly logical.

Though, this was never about logic in the first place, so why that matters who ****ing knows. It's just how you perceive life, whether positively or negatively.

Popularity has made it true, but there was a time when half-full and half-empty were considered poor grammar. Then again, that's just how languages evolve, how slang becoming the norm.

I am soooo unsubscribing from this thread. >:

My mid age philosophy is- I have no mid age philosophy.
Honestly I never understood the half full or half empty philosophy but again I never thought too hard. Too much risk to damage my brain cells!!




Posted by sreeja

In my opinion half is full.What about you all?




Posted by Shevanel

This thread is the worst scumpuddle of pseudo-intellectual gisp-lickery I've ever seen.

What the **** is a "mid-age philosophy"? Do you even know what any of those words mean?

It's poisoned.

thread didn't really seem all that SH[COLOR="Lime"]I[/COLOR]TTY to me. but what do I know? I'm just a dog.

Not even half-full, for me. You see, the women on both sides of my family just don't seem to have the courtesy to die when they get old. So I'm fairly certain that I'll live forever. :)

I don't like the question.

Seeing the glass as half full implies that I'm building toward some final goal. This really is how most of us are forced to live out our lives. We go to school to get a good job. We get a good job to buy a nice house. We buy a nice house to get married and raise a family. And then we all live happily ever after? Garbage. There is no final goal.

I also don't like the half empty view. It puts a boundary on life. Sure, death is one hell of a boundary. But I don't want to look back and think that everything was on a downhill slope.

Instead, I would throw the cup away and drink from a water fountain whenever I felt the need.
