Optimist or pessimist. Three quarters full or a quarter empty. Please discuss. 

Please refrain from using fractions on public forums as it may be taken as a micro-aggression towards some European members who rely solely on the metric system. As a side note, three-quarters of Americans don't understand fractions, and the other half don't even care. 

Proof that AN members will argue over anything.

 

No they won't!

Why did you post that?

Insensitive!

Do you like p!$$ing members off!

That's a cup AND saucer!

Why do you have to leave the saucer out?

Are you sauceraphobic?

Did you used to be a saucer?

Did a saucer abuse you once?

Why do you have it in for all saucers?

If you dont like it you are free to leave!

Here’s a cup of water 

Good grief! No it is not a cup of water, clearly most of the comments here are made up with total nonsense. Obviously it’s a photo with an an object that appears to be made with sand, limestone, soda ash and possibly silicates and melted into a a cylindrical shape with what appears to contain a liquid property of some sort, possibly h20. But without being in its presents and conducting a full analysis on the object(s), one may never know (assuming the image is not computer generated)

Ah ... but it might be a cup of water in a glass ????

The rest of the world have moved on. It is 250ml in a glass.???? Liquid unknown.

Yeah but at least the Romans had some memorable orgies on the way out.   Cant see the same happening in the US, I think its all banned there isnt it?

Could we have a more stupid thread?

I'm waiting for a certain poster to come on here and ask if the Op has any links or proof back up his assertion ?

How about the AA crowd....  "If you have to question if this may not be water and could be vodka, then you clearly have a drinking problem and need help" !!!
