This easily has to be the most CACishful CACous CACed up CACified shit I've ever come across in my natural (and lasagna ass) life in a minute.

I should have stopped at Law 7 (LMFAO) but i was like, eh ... what the heck.

Read Law 2 and Law 15 back to back.

Ok, so in a nutshell, be a CAC.

Have you ever read the actual chapters and not just the titles? The chapters are actually very interesting and give historical references.. And he tells you not all laws always apply to each situation.. I own this book, have read up to Law 26 and think its very interesting...

So what situations do Law 7 and 38 apply too?
 
This is a good book and so is the Art of Seduction...

This book should be used for reference purposes as situations in ones life may come up to where these principles could be useful..

This is not CAC only idealogy...

Plenty of people in positions of power throughout history, black, white, asian, or other have used these same principles to suceed and excel...so how is this CAC only idealogy.

This book references and mimicks the book The Art of War by Sun Tzu who is NOT a CAC.

Yeah. Depeands on yourt definition of success.

Blacks can be CACs too.

And fuck Sun Tzu. CAC ass. :hmm:
 
There are two ways to succeed.

Work hard until someone notices your work ethic and qualifications to be promoted.

OR

Play ruthless office politics to excel quickly and MAKE them notice you.

In this economy, where do you think the "If I just work hard, I know somebody will notice me" people are? That type of sentiment is right there along, "There's no way they'd spend our retirement money, I need that to live!"

You better go into your career with the "Get down or LAY DOWN" line of thinking, or you will be stuck holding the bag.
