Shove that red pill

This is a blue pill:
Schools run programmes to integrate foreign students into local community

Channel NewsAsia, 13 March 2007
...And some foreign students have already bought into the experience. Between 1996 and 1999, two-thirds of foreign students who enrolled at universities in Singapore took up citizenship or permanent residency after graduating.

"We will go (on) end-of-term activity together; local friends will teach us how to bowl. I have never gone bowling before in China, and my local friends teach us how to hold the ball," said Hwa Chong Institution student Wang Shizhi, who comes from China.

And most foreign students are not brainwashed by the experience.
After 1999, from 2000 to 2007, a span of 7 years up till now , very few - if any - foreign students who enrolled at universities in Singapore took up citizenship or permanent residency after graduating.

"We will go (on) end-of-term activity together; After bowling, we will go to the hawker centre or food court for dinner. I have never seen so many 80 years old grandpas and grandmas cleaning tables and washing toilets and struggling to make a living, before in China. My local friends teach us how to hold the balls of their Matrix Masters, instead of staring at those helpless senior citizens. But that's when I tell myself - this is not the place to settle down,and to grow old in!" said Hwa Chong Institution student Wo3 Bu4 Ben4, who comes from China and who will grow old one day. Mr. Wo, like most of his peers, has decided to leave for greener pastures (where he can marry, settle down, have kids and grow old gracefully and enjoy his golden years) after getting his scholarships and free education at Singaporeans' expense.



Sigh, the red pill is bitter. It has lots of side effects - one of which is to make you feel even more depressed than ever before about your future. Most people prefer to swallow the blue pill - they would rather lie to themselves. Something like taking drugs, becoming high, going into hallucination, then forgetting all the troubles in real life. They dont dare to face the truth, which is what the red pill is about. 66.6% in fact dislike the red-pill dispensing Chee, the way Cypher dislikes Morpheus!

[talking to the unconscious Morpheus]
Cypher: If you'd told us the truth, we would've told you to shove that red pill right up your ass.

it's very telling when our govt can only quote "evidence" that is already more than 7 years old! Thanks for highlighting the dates to us, fellow human battery.
