Has it been called that? I guess it could be lol. But it doesn't relate to or mention hip hop or music in any way of course (for those looking to read it).
Learned some things from it but mostly throughout reading it I noticed it just reinforced how I naturally think..Last edited by Jakez; 12-11-2011, 11:56 AM.Comment

Very true.
When I was inside, someone sent me a 'Photohop User' magazine... I wasn't allowed to have it, cause there was a feature in there on a 'comic book' plugin that made pics look like comic book art.
One of the MANY examples they used was of some guy dressed up as a 'Miner 49er' Old Wild West type character holding an 'Old West' 6 shooter... And 'Pictures of GUNS' were not allowed !
So I was not allowed the magazine ! I even went so far as to request that they simply ripped out that page, and allowed me to read the rest of what essentially was a training gude for photoshop techniques... But of course... NO...
They took great delight in throwing the entire magazine in the trash, while I watched...
I could understand it had someone sent me the latest issue of 'Guns & Ammo'... But photoshop? Oh Dear...

there was a killer in florida who killed a cop, it was brought up that he had the book in his cell that he ordered from amazon.hatisblack at yahoo.comComment

its a good book, been translated into ebonics by P ken
pimpology 48 laws of the gameComment

Lol, killers are obviously crazy people with a lot on their mind and not much to do. The book is not going to make you a crazy killer, it doesn't even have anything to do with something like that.. more like a quick history lesson on the strategies of kings and such..
50 Cent also partnered up with Robert Green for a book. 50th Law Of Power, about fear. Not nearly as interesting as this one but eh..Last edited by Jakez; 12-11-2011, 01:56 PM.Comment

I was going to say, who gives a shit.. Cause people in prisons should have no rights, they were put there for a reason.... Then I thought about the pretty decent people that find themselves in prison for simple facts of 'non payment of parking tickets' or speeding.. something simple, maybe even manslaughter after knocking someone over, an accident which could have not been avoided... fraud, lots of reasons to be punished in prison, yet are law abiding & probably nice friendly people

there is nothing wrong with that book, it sounds "evil", but it's far from it... it's not unlike "art of war", which too sounds "evil", but is actually quite educational....Custom Software Development, email: woj#at#wojfun#.#com to discuss details or skype: wojl2000 or gchat: wojfun or telegram: wojl2000

.Use absence to increase respect and honor.

I don't think the book is even the slightest bit evil. Most of it just reinforced my existing way of thinking and I think it's absolutely crazy that such a book could be banned whereas The Autobiography Of Malcolm X by noted sociopath Malcolm X is apparently quite popular.

There are many places where a sociopath can find inspiration. Case in point. While Jules is fictional, the human element is real.
?The path of the righteous man is beset on all sides by the iniquities of the selfish and the tyranny of evil men. Blessed is he who in the name of charity and goodwill shepherds the weak through the valley of darkness, for he is truly his brother's keeper and the finder of lost children. And I will strike down upon thee with great vengeance and furious anger those who attempt to poison and destroy my brothers. And you will know my name is the Lord when I lay my vengeance upon thee. ?

And people who think that this is what the book should be used for don't deserve to read it. Hence why it's not allowed in prisons.
I guess we know the kind of mentality you have now. Enjoy your half empty glass.

The funny thing is, people who get into this kind of shit don't realize they are being manipulated into playing someone else's game, or their "perception" of the game.
"A sociopath knows the difference between right and wrong, they just don't care."

You often talk about others being manipulated and being sheep. Have you ever thought that you are a manipulated sheep as well, just a different color?
And your premise is wrong. You basically just described everything in life. People read books, take courses, attend seminars to learn a skill that somebody else knows based on what that person has learned. If you go to be a doctor, you are being "manipulated" by someone else's knowledge.
This book is essentially a psychology book based on experiences, tests, and history. Nowhere does it say "do this and this to get that." Instead, it shares anecdotes on how one person accomplished one thing, it broke down the path of the accomplishment, and encouraged the reader to create a similar goal but the reader would still need to find their own path.Vacares - Web Hosting, Domains, O365, Security & More - Paxum and BTC Accepted

No premise here, just a fact. The reason this book is not allowed in prisons (and rightfully so) is that it nurtures and enables sociopathic criminal behavior.
You understand this is the reason, right?
After all, it is called "The 48 LAWS Of Power." Doesn't leave much room for interpretation does it?
At the end of a day it's just another so called "empowerment" book, but in my opinion, and an opinion shared by many, this book is more proof as to how geniuinely fucked up society is right now.
The ends justify the means, do whatever it takes, fuck your friends if that's what it takes.
The message is pretty twisted.
