[QUOTE="rickyb, post: 3356910, member: 56035"] from office space the movie: notice how capitalism and state communism both have bureaucracies and lack of incentive for workers to work hard. when im at work, i do the exact same thing. and i dont remember a job where i havent done this. theres never enough incentive at work to work hard. theres definitely incentive to study hard at school. this movie reminds me of the office scene in the first matrix.
