@MrBig , here is your debate presented in the style of the great George Carlin as suggested by @Royale with cheese
"You ever hear that old philosophical nonsense—Is the glass half full or half empty? Yeah? Well, I got news for you—either way, I’m getting screwed out of half a damn glass!
See, my old man had this backwards logic, right? He’d say, “Son, the glass half empty is the good one, because it’s only half empty.” What kind of optimistic depression is that? “Hey, kid, look on the bright side—your drink isn’t completely gone… yet.” Well, thanks, Dad, now I get to savor the slow, agonizing loss of hydration.
Meanwhile, you got all these glass-half-full suckers walking around thinking they won something. “Oh, I’m so grateful, my glass is half full!” Well, I got news for you, dummy—it should be 100% full! What kind of scam is this? Who in their right mind is happy about half of something? That’s like getting mugged and celebrating that the guy only took half your wallet.
And by the way, let’s talk about the real winners here—the glass-half-empty people. Yeah, because at least they understand loss management. They look at that glass and go, “Phew, I only lost half. I could’ve been totally screwed.” That’s a real survival mindset. Meanwhile, the half-full guys are over here celebrating their 50% disappointment.
You ever go to a bar and order a beer, and the bartender hands you a glass that’s only half full? Are you gonna smile and say, “Well, at least it’s half full!” No, you’re gonna say, “Hey asshole, where’s the rest of my beer?”
I don’t care how you spin it—half a glass is a ripoff. And the only people winning in this game are the ones who say, “Screw philosophy, just fill the goddamn thing up.”
