The other day, my friend poured water into a glass half way, and asked me if it was half full or half empty. I still don't know, but I think it was half full. Anyway, I have the same question for you. Is a glass of water that is half way poured half full or half empty?

P.S. I tried to put a pic of a glass of water here but it was too big...

I Believe Its Half Full

Both...

Anyone can say their Opinion, an Opinion cant be wrong. This arguement or creative discussion can go on for ages! But both are correct, just depends on whos eyes you are looking through.

Yes I agree with Darkness girl both

Darkness is right, who came first; the chicken or the egg?--- nvm don't answer that lol.
~Chaelle

both, half full and half empty. I have another question: What weighs more? a pound of bricks or a pound of feathers? ( I know it) lol

both, half full and half empty. I have another question: What weighs more? a pound of bricks or a pound of feathers? ( I know it) lol
Pound of feathers?

they both weigh the same, they are both a pound. lol

Darkness is right, who came first; the chicken or the egg?--- nvm don't answer that lol.

No I can answer this - Nethier, it evoled. ;)

they both weigh the same, they are both a pound. lol
Oh, im brain dead in the morning

lol.. nice mini

I think of it as both.

If the glass of water was just filled up halfway, it would be half full.
However if it was full, and it got emptied halfway, it would be half empty.

If ur a possitive thinker then u'll say its half full
but if ur a negitive thinker u'll say it's half empty

If ur a possitive thinker then u'll say its half full
but if ur a negitive thinker u'll say it's half empty
And an engineer will say its too big for its job ;)

Techinally, if the glass is half full, then it must be half empty at the same time. :)

So the chicken must have come first. Maybe come by live birth then evolved to eggs ;)

let me tell you why the Chicken And The Egg Question Can NEVER be answered...

IF the Chicken/ Egg came first there has to be an egg that it came from and that egg had to come from a chicken and that chicken had to come from an egg and that egg had to come from a chicken & that chicken had to come from a egg, and that egg had to come from a chicken and that chicken had to come from a egg...... AND SO ON AND SO FORTH!!!
Is that a good enough reason!?!??!???!

Dude, if the egg came first, it would die because there would be no other chicken to sit on it.So The chicken had to come first.

Yep the chicken came first. Its just that simple.

Back on topic: If you drank half the water, it would be half empty. If you filled it half way, its half full. :D

Back OFF topic: Ponder these questions for a while.

Is a tomato a fruit or a vegetable?
What is the sound of one hand clapping?
If a tree falls down in the forest, and no-one is around to hear it, does it make a sound?

I know a lot of these... lol

Dude, if the egg came first, it would die because there would be no other chicken to sit on it.So The chicken had to come first.
But that chicken had to come from a egg...

Depends on your mood.

If you think it's half full, you are looking at it in a happy mood.

If you think it is half empty, then you're looking at it while in a sad mood.





EDIT: I just went through the pages, and found the chicken question. Onbviously the chicken had to come first. If not, monkeys would rule the world, and we would be humble pets. Just my theory. :)

What mood is it if you always see it as both? If it's half full then it must be half empty at the same time :)

For the chicken question:

The first known micro-ogranism on Earth was the Amoeba, which is very egg-like and nothing like a chicken. We evolved from this over 20,000 years into what we are now. If you think of it, we come from zygots, which come from cells, an so on. So it would make the most sense that the egg came first, and before the egg was DNA. My mother is a geneticist ;)

Darkness is right, who came first; the chicken or the egg?--- nvm don't answer that lol.
~Chaelle

the egg came first bc the closest relitive of the chicken is T-Rex so bc it evolved into the chicken so that means that the dino layed a egg and out came a chicken

Of course, now we're getting scientific and off-topic. ;)

Erm... I just couldn't see a dinosaur laying an egg and a chicken hatching. I'm very sure that the chicken came first.

But that chicken had to come from a egg...
Well it didn't have to. It is the same case with humans and any other animal, but I'm not going to go into a science lesson, unless you want me to. ;)

Here is another way to think or the glass of water thing - If you drink the water, it is half empty. If you pour the water into the glass, it is half full. there is another way to think of the it.

Is it possible to be totally partial?

i agree :wave2: :wave2:

This is in no particular way true. Before there can be an egg, two must mate. A rooster must mate with a chicken to produce an egg. It is logical to conclude that an egg would not exist without two, hence the chicken came first. This argument backs up many scientific points of view. The chicken could have been created as well. There would be no such thing as an egg without a chicken, but there can be a chicken without an egg if it was created by a greater being or evolved, but hence this would bring up another argument, so i'll conclude here..

:easter_chickegg: :aegg: :easter_eggs:

Not nessesarily. There would be in no way such thing as an egg if there was no Chicken and Rooster to produce it. The chicken does not have to come from an egg, based on many scientific thoughts and ideas of evolution and the Bible's point of view on the animals being created. Hence you would need both a Chicken and a Rooster to produce an egg, but you don't nessesarily ned an egg to make a Chicken.

It was obviously twice as large as it needed to be.

The way in which you look at the glass depends on many things. One of these things depends on how you look at things. For example, if you seem to notice every bad detail of something, like a small stain on a fabric, you are sure to notice that the glass is half empty. But if you look at things in an optimistic way, like seeing the same fabric but how clean it is apart from the small stain, you are likely to see that it is half full. A man in a scorching hot desert would not notice it's half empty, he'll just drink it all and be glad he had any to start with. That's why we should be accustomed to look at things in a good way, because we never know when we might need that half filled glass of water.

There are many rhetorical questions in life, but always remember each has an answer, however ironic this may seem.

Woo nice discussion going on here :)

I believe that the glass is half empty, but that may be dude to the fact that im gasping for some water right now ;)

I remember being asked this in the psychology course I took and if you said half full you were supposedly an optimistic thinker and if you said half empty, you were a pessimistic thinker lol.

Grrr ppl.. If it's half empty then it must be half full at the same time! look at the picture.. I see a half empty and half full glass.. don't you?

Just like if you were driving to Disney and you were half way there, then you're halfway there and also have half of the way to go.

I say it's half full because he poured the water into the glass.If he drank the water then it's half empty.That's what I think.

Haha! Those choices are the same. Just using different choices of words. Think about it ;)

It's half filled with liquid. Half filled with air. Therefore it is full. You are all wrong. :goofy: Tee hee hee! ;)

I don't believe that. Maybe if people in your family are a possitive thinker or a negitive thinker, yes. It is passed down in your family, not what you think. I say half empty just because thats how I heard it my whoel life from my family.

It is just plain old full... maybe half is filled with water, but the other half is filled with nitrogen, oxygen, argon, and other gases found in our atmosphere.

Who cares. LOL. In American, it's half as big as it needs to be.

Who cares. LOL. In American, it's half as big as it needs to be.

LOL.......... Do you hear that a lot? jk

for some reason even though I know it's supposed to be equal it looks like there's more water in there :minniemo: :mickeymo:

LOL.......... Do you hear that a lot? jk

How rude! LOL

No I can answer this - Nethier, it evoled. ;)
No thats not right lol the chicken came first ;)

Does any of the 'Half full or half empty'stuff even matter?!?!?!I mean come on the person who asked that question first,gave many bored people something to do......

No thats not right lol the chicken came first ;)

Sorry for going ot, but I beleive the egg came first. Only because it does not say what TYPE of egg. There are many creatures that lay eggs. One of them must have came before the chicken. So in conclusion the _____ egg came before the chicken ;).

Both. Half full and half empty mean the same thing.

It's both. Since that someone filled it half way. Half of it is empty, (the top space) and half of it is full, (the bottom space) Therefore it is both.

*CubbyDoggie*

I wanted A Cheeseburger :uglyhamme

So the chicken must have come first. Maybe come by live birth then evolved to eggs ;)
Well I have to gue with this lol, a chicken can't just pop out of no where.This is what I belive:
First, came an Egg OUT OF NO WHERE. Then, it soonly hatched. There were a couple of other eggs.And thats what I think.Olso this is just an opinion.

it is half full!

Slashdot had an article about this a few days ago:
