Substitute any number of other "codes" or "beliefs" or concepts for the word "Bushido" in your comment, and still true: Democracy, Communism, Capitalism, Socialism, and a large number of religions. Can debate the "more bad than good" about many of them. But so true: do not follow it all blindly, but judiciously.
