A glass is not defined by what it's made of, but rather by its function.  Moreover, I think claiming a glass to be EITHER half full or half empty is bound to be inaccurate, unless you've done a precise measurement of the volume of the glass and the contents (or lack of) therein.  Finding the percent "fullness" of the glass can be easily achieved with a pocket calculator after that (target: 50%)

I think I must be a neutralist because it is both.Probably explains why I can never get the right attitude about life, if there is such a thing anyway.

LOL . I think it's half-full because the water is present in the glass. Whether the glass is there or not, I wouldn't know that.
