Red pill or Blue pill????

[Hercules331]

So we were talking about The Matrix in my philosophy class today and were asked whether we would take the red pill or the blue pill (assuming we had not seen the movie yet and did not know what the real world was like) So I ask it to you all: Assuming you have never seen the movie and did not know what the real world was like (all crappy, living on a tin can ship, fighting a war, etc.), would you take the red pill to learn that your world is not real, or take the blue pill and stay true to the saying "Ignorance is bliss"

 

[Adrien C]

Defenitly the red pill, I prefer to live in the " real world " than this one. It seems way more fun and interesting than society this days.

 

[PoeticRocker]

Duh... red pill - work sucks, life sucks in general, get out of the fear of living, seems more fun. We all want to hear the truth, even if we cant handle the truth... hehe

 

[KagePrototype]

You guys think the real world looks cool? :| It's cold, damp, you live underground in cramped, cold, damp, metal living quarters, and you eat gloop everyday, with huge machines trying to kill you. Sure, there's mass orgies, but I'm sure they're possible in the Matrix as well.

If I didn't know about it, though, I'd probably take the red pill out of sheer curiosity. Then I might regret it.

 

[Ranga]

i like the world as it is... no dark tunnels with no light at the end for me

 

[Lucid]

Neither.
Why would you take a pill from strange people wearing trenchcoats?

 

[Danimal]

Blue pill

 

[sabre0001]

Neither.

Hahahaha :cheers:

The real world is not a great (or even) good place to live but i dont like the idea that i cant control what happens to me so i would probably have to escape...

 

[Recoil]

Red.

Unlimited supply of guns! :O

 

[Dalamari]

Red Pill, why? 3 words

Carrie Anne Moss, nuff said

 

[Asuka]

Red Pill- Discover the truth that you are living in a dream world

Going in VR and playing would rock!

 

[Pressure]

Red Pill

Cool futuristic VR kung fu games.
Super Powers.
Learn anything in seconds.
Lots and Lots of weapons.

 

[Hercules331]

You people seem to be misunderstanding my question a bit. It was asked assuming you knew nothing about what the real world so you cant say "Red pill it would be awesome with powers, kung fu, guns, learn anything in seconds, etc. I wanted you to answer assuming you did not know thats what it would be like taking the red pill.

 

[KoreBolteR]

red pill, cos its strawberry , hehe.
..and the ultimate gun thing

 

[Reginald]

Red Pill...Tasty Wheat and flying spaceships...why else?

 

[Stigmata]

Are we assuming that the person offering said pills, tells us what the real world is like?

 

[Icarusintel]

Red - everything you ever wanted just needs to be programmed in = perfect woman, lots of money, guns, ammo, and muscles

 

[Hercules331]

God dammit people. Oh whatever its useless.

 

[Hercules331]

Are we assuming that the person offering said pills, tells us what the real world is like?

No, no, no. As I have stated before, assume you do not know what the real world is like. Like as if you were in Neos shoes in the first movie. Morpheus gave him very little information before he took the pill. Read my motha f*ckin posts.

 

[Icarusintel]

fine then, red, if only because of curiosity

 

[short recoil]

Both pills!!!! ............see what happens.

Prob go into a coma or something.

 

[IchI]

The whole point in the red pill is that you don't know what you will recieve. So the people who say I like the way the machines look etc... is kinda stupid because you wouldn't know what to expect.

 

[RRunner]

I down what ever pill thrown my way....once me and a friend ate a whole medicine cabinett....we ran out of beer at a party and thought....well why not...

That was a wierd night.

 

[Stigmata]

It would depend on how I feel at the time. If I was depressed with my life, I'd take the red pill, but if I was feeling optimistic I'd go with the blue pill.

 

[Lucid]

I down what ever pill thrown my way....once me and a friend ate a whole medicine cabinett....we ran out of beer at a party and thought....well why not...

That was a wierd night.

Yeah...right...
A whole medicine cabinet.
Meaning you took every pill you saw in it?
...Technically you'd be dead right now.
Depending on the pills.

 

[RRunner]

yup we ate every single pill, even sucked down an astma spary....

 

[Lucid]

Oh that's nice.
If you're trying to kill yourself...Remember up the street, not across the road. ;-)

 

[WacK]

RED PILL!... mmmmmhh... taasty wheeat...!

 

[Cole]

I would split half of the blue pill..half of the red pill. Glue one half of the blue pill to the other half of the red pill. Muahahhahaha!
Ima smart!!
Then I would break the other pills up iwith a hammer and sniff them.

 

[RRunner]

Oh that's nice.

nah wasent the plan, just wanted somn to happend besides an oncoming hangover...all though it was a strange high ... only words i can find to describe it, is as if i had sucked metal and somhow gotten high of it.

Realety is but an illusion, induced by the lack of drugs :E

 

[oldagerocker]

If i was happy with my life, then Blue. Red if i wasnt happy and i'd think, what the hell... so it'd most likely be red all the time

 

[KoreBolteR]

hmm, i suppose, id like to have a pill that can make keep my life, but add a lot of luxuries like guns, bombs and dynamite :E

 

[Tantalus]

I have everything that I want in this world: a nice girlfriend, an awesome 'garage' band, and almost limitless resources for my research.

The only thing that I might want access to is the loading program. That would be teh shiznit. Being able to make anything you want a 'reality'? That'd be awesome.

By the way, to the starter of the thread, good idea for a poll. :thumbs:

And kudos to all the people who zoned out when reading "Assuming you have never seen the movie and did not know what the real world was like" \/

 

[Gorgon]

red pill, i want to see the truth, and get some powers

 

[kirovman]

Black pill - become an agent

 

[DarkStar]

Blue Pill:

1. No scary-ass flying squids with deadly pokey arms.

2. No being forced to wear rags for no apparant reason.

3. No fatty-Morpheus speaches followed by sweaty-ass techno cave raves.

4. No having to recycle my own piss for drinking water.

5. No constant stream of pseudo-philosophy to endure.

 

[B-MAn]

blue pill

blue things always taste better, take M&Ms for examples...yum :bounce:

 

[jondy]

Yeah, but blue meatballs just plain suck.

 

[kirovman]

3. No fatty-Morpheus speaches followed by sweaty-ass techno cave raves.

Haha fatty morpheus and sweaty ass cave raves.

That made me ROFL.
