Dude what you are trying to say is that humans are naturally violent. That is not so. American culture is violent, we all love our UFC, boxing, the occasional punches in hockey, we love that shit so it is no surprise that kids have aggressive characteristics.

EDIT: Look at my sig

though i do believe the environment provides this stuff, the exceptional reception violence power and sex gets over other things with kids is very profound and almost universal.

Our enviroment isnt as violent? I dont understand bro, you start off sayn you dont think its our Enviro ,then you say you believe its the enviro?

when kids play games made up by kids there's always the elements of power and death.

in fact if you look at things kids are interested in, power and death are always recurring themes.

its the shit we make FOR them to be interested in like educational kids shows, that create a fascade that they like that shit, and we use psychological tricks to get them to watch it like giving the characters big eyes, using repetition, distinct voices and bright colors.

one of the reasons they violent is because certain GROWN ADULTS think that minor violence of children against each other is "right of passage" and "toughens them up"

to answer the question - just turn on the tv to any given channel
i remember this kid who went around punching and kicking every thing and person in sight cuz he wanted to be a power ranger
plus
like someone said children are immature - their mental faculties have yet to be developed

but why did that appeal to your son so much more then if you would have screamed PAY THE BILLS!

like this
so they rely on base animal urges and feelings instead of their intellect - which they couldn't use even if they wanted to cuz it isn't developed yet
children don't know the science of bills, you gotta wait till their brain develops so you can bless them with earth lessons so they can acknowledge the wisdom ur manifestin

LOL, the notion that if he grows up in Arab family he will be respectful, the most disrespectful people in this fucking city I live in are Arab and are directly responsible for most of the crime that goes on.

i remember reading an article talkin about why chinese kids don't flash on their parents like american kids, and they were saying that in china people in general are less likely to blow up and have hissy fits which is the main reason why their kids don't throw tantrums ... america on the other hand ... well that goes without saying ...

Everyone wants to say kids are all church until they see adults killing each other. im telling you that kids are naturally extremely violent and sexual and it shows. even the fact the sight of adult violence appeals to them so much is telling. they can be influenced by anything, but the speed they take to violence is unreal.

I used to watch action movies, and the second the movie ended i was running around shooting everything. I could i re enacted the scenes when they talked on the phone or anything else, but as a kid, the violence was the shit.

you can even see that at a certain age, babies just wanna break shit. they rip books and throw things

I agree that everything can shape a young childs mind.

I'm going to raise my children to question authority and opinions and so on.... but still making them see how's the boss. It's not going to be easy, but hell, I was raised like that and I can see right from wrong, actually I been like that since I could remember, for instance raising an eyebrow on religion and shit like that.

I guess somethings u also inherent, like stubbornes and shit like that, but it's mostly the world around you and how u understand it.
