Beijing Bans Horror Books in Response to Death Note Threats

I can't say i fully agree. It is the choice China and surroundings has to make. I do believe that the show can have a negative influence on children their lives, emotions and the way they deal with certain things. A country as big as China can't have great groups acting different from the rest of the country. Now i saw Death Note myself. And just like any other person with atleast the smallest amount of motivation and information about the world, i wouldn't mind having one of those myself. Just the thought alone is what scares the Chinese goverment. I do see their point in banning it, but personally i see Death Note as a very usefull show to teach children and people from all ages that there is alot of "evil" in the world. Death Note describes thát almost perfectly. And i do think everyone should see it. Learn from it. Don't take the whole idea, just the philosophy behind it.
