    "You take the blue pill – the story ends, you wake up in your bed and believe whatever you want to believe. You take the red pill – you stay in Wonderland and I show you how deep the rabbit-hole goes." -Morpheus

    The term red pill and its opposite, blue pill, are pop culture terms that have become a common symbol for the choice between the blissful ignorance of illusion (blue) and embracing the sometimes painful truth of reality (red)

    If you were in the matrix, what pill would you choose?

    I can honestly say I have never heard people use the terms unless they were quoting the movie, so I would have a little doubt about this statement.

    is this some kind of trick and you really are some morpheus type guy just monitoring what my true character really is by checking my posts, and my reaction here as to which pill to take really has consequences.

    I see you.

    Speckled>>>>>>red/blue

    And if the blue pill is the blissful ignorance that the matrix 2 and 3 were never made than give me that.

    Before I answer I need to know what pill allows me the ability to learn Kung fu by having it downloaded into my brain.

    chop 'em up and snort them both.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,297 ✭✭✭Jaxxy


    I'd probably take the red pill, and then piss and moan about the state of things with everyone else.

    I wonder what happens if you take both.

    Then it got down off the mushroom, and crawled away in the grass, merely remarking as it went, `One side will make you grow taller, and the other side will make you grow shorter.'
    `One side of WHAT? The other side of WHAT?' thought Alice to herself. `Of the mushroom,' said the Caterpillar, just as if she had asked it aloud; and in another moment it was out of sight.
    Alice remained looking thoughtfully at the mushroom for a minute, trying to make out which were the two sides of it; and as it was perfectly round, she found this a very difficult question. However, at last she stretched her arms round it as far as they would go, and broke off a bit of the edge with each hand.
    `And now, which is which?' she said to herself, and nibbled a little of the right-hand bit to try the effect: the next moment she felt a violent blow underneath her chin: it had struck her foot!
    She was a good deal frightened by this very sudden change, but she felt that there was no time to be lost, as she was shrinking rapidly; so she set to work at once to eat some of the other bit. Her chin was pressed so closely against her foot, that there was hardly room to open her mouth; but she did it at last, and managed to swallow a morsel of the lefthand bit....



    Choose your drug carefully.

    The blue pill is viagra

    The red pill is a popper.

    You cannot take both together....

    I never understood this movie, Morpheus claimed Neo wasn't living in reality but by plugging him into a computer he was opening his eyes up to reality


    Take the blue pill

    Ah yeah but some times you arrive late to the party and have to catch up.

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,059 ✭✭✭Buceph


    Grind both together and snort 'em. You'll find out faster.

    Take the blue pill

    Zion is really part of the matrix too, that's why Neo "develops" the ability to use his powers. It's just a part that shows them a desolate wasteland to stop them realising that the rabbit hole goes alot deeper than they imagine.

    That's a theory made by fans. The brothers then said "Uhh... Yeah, that is exactly the thing we meant and in no way fucked up. Go you guys!"

    Blissful ignorance. No way in Hell I'm eating that beige sh!te for sixty or so years.
