Time for the philosophy question of the week.

Is the glass half full, or half empty?

A pessimist sees the glass half empty
An optimist sees it half full

Pshycochef:
A cynic thinks that it doesn't matter whether the glass is half full or half empty, because he's pretty sure someone pissed in the glass

A glutton drinks it regardless
A hedon wants it to be completely full, and for it all to be his
A dreamer believes one day it will be filled with liquid rainbows
A realist sees a shaped piece of clear silicon, containing half its maximum capacity of liquid
A politician promises to fill the glass
A communist shares it
A narcissist just sees his reflection

What do you think, is the glass half full or half empty, or something else? Got anymore examples?

EDIT: lets stay away from some of the more offensive stuff

A capitalist tries to sell it to you claiming its full.
A conman tries to sell it to you claiming its full.
A pagan worships it
A gamer fills it with mountain dew and drinks it, repeats the process ad infinitum and becomes morbidly obese.
A fascist puts a gun to your head and makes you think its full
A Chinese communist claims to share it but instead turns it into an inefficient corporation with little regard to environmental issues and proceeds to turn a fortune and simultaneously poison America with lead.
A true OG decides it needs spinnaz
A redneck jacks it up and puts oversized tires on it.
A revolutionary sees it as an oppressor.
An oppressor sees it as the way to quench the rebellion.
An islamo-fascist extremist denounces it for supporting America even though its made in China.

An engineer says, "This glass is twice as big as it needs to be."
An indecisive wavers back and forth between half-full and half-empty until he forgets the question.

A thirsty man drinks it regardless.
Nietzsche blames Christians for the lack of water.
Ayn Rand tells you to get away from her hard earned water.

A communist claims that the water is for people
A transcedent sees no glass
A worker sees half of his pay is missing
A rich man ignores it as not worth his time
A normal person wonders what the hell happened to the other half of the water

A guy with way too much time on his hands calculates how many half-glasses it would take to fill an Olympic swimming pool.

a paranoid things the government put mind conrtol drugs in teh water

Me, being a realist and a bit of a cynic, sees a glass, half if which contains water, that someone may have piddled in (that's right, I said piddle.)

A man who died of thirst doesn't care, he just wishes he had it.
A critic thinks it's half full - which is good - but thinks that the glass leaves something to be desired.

TheNecroswanson:
A Gordon Freeman sees it. That's all.

Can you explain what the heck that means ("Sounds like something the vorts would say")

Edit: Nevermind, I think he was referring to the fact that Gordon never talks >_<

Actually you hit the nail ont he head with the Vorts.

Haha, ok. That makes sense. My other theory works too though.

I fill the glass.

Why the heck has no one said anything like that yet?!

Portal players think the glass is a lie.

Heres one..

The glass is half full so I drink it but when the glass is half empty I think "geez.. its half empty.. I should fill it up"

It depends on the direction in which the water was going when the glass ended up being half full/empty.
If it was being filled, it's half full. If it was being emptied, it's half empty.

If it was being filled, it's half full. If it was being emptied, it's half empty.

That has always been my answer to it, too.

It's simple logic if you think about it.

Decoy Doctorpus:
To a diablo fan the glass is too bright.

:) Good one

To me, the glass is irrelevant, as I drink from the bottle.
