Red Pill. Then I contact an Agent, rat out Zion, then get inserted back into the Matrix as a famous movie star or rock star and enjoy all the babes.

If possible, be aware I am in the Matrix while being said movie/rock star so I can bend reality to my whim.

Red pill....but only if I could go back into the Matrix and do all the flying and kung fu and everything. It would also help if I was less of a loser outside of the Matrix...haha....ha.. :(
Otherwise I'd probably just take the blue pill.

If I was a loner like Neo, definitely Red pill. But as it stands I'd be leaving too much behind so I'd go for blue. But I'd probably always wonder!

In case anyone cared about my own opinion i'd go for Red Pill. Better to know the truth than to be driven mad by what could have happened.

So live in a relatively fantastic fake world OR likely be stabbed to death by pissed off robots.

Other than how awesome it would be to download martial arts into my brain I'd stick in the matrix for sure.

If our entire current universe is fantasy and the reality is an endless metallic hellscape AND I found out...I'd be getting my fantasy boner on and forgetting all about reality.

I actually wrote a brief...thing about how the question itself is a moot point.

The whole point of the whole "pill" question is that no one who had the option would take the red pill; that they had an option cemented the option they chose.

It helps not to think of it as a choice between "red" and "blue"...think of it as an option between slavery and anything else.

Apologies 'n stuff.

I'd prefer the Red pill. I don't live a very boring life and I'm still young.The former means I don't have many things in life to keep me here and the latter means that I have yet to accomplish anything. Basically I got nothing to lose except the few relationships I have built over the years.

As with a large majority of threads on The Escapist, this can be solved with a simple XKCD comic strip...

I would take the red pill. This sort of thing is a mental conundrum I would like to see solved, by any measure (I had to do a philosophy essay on the nature of the Matrix once).

Actually, I would take both at once. If you're truly the sort of rebel they want then you'd try and break the system laterally.

Red pill. red pill, red pill!!!

I like to know the truth about reality, and I'd prefer living in a horrible reality than a safe dream world controlled by someone else. Plus I'd get to be a martial arts and weapons expert, flying helicopters and blowing up stuff. :)

Taking both pills at once might be kinda useless, cos the red one's just a trace program to find your position in the Matrix, and the blue one's probably just general anesthetic with some memory loss drug thrown in for good measure. So they'd know where you are, just would never extract you.
