is SPOON-FED from childhood... to adulthood is an
important "root cause" of the Violent BEHAVIOR in our
Society ? (Behavior is a "learned" process, ya know).....

I agree with this, but I believe that real life violence is the main culprit. Violence in imaginary media- video games, music, and other fictional forms of entertainment has less of an effect. The news media probably has much more of an impact than video games.
@John,
Parents only control what happens at home. Sooner or later little Johnny has to go out into the real world and deal with other kids on the street, at school, and so on. If violent thugs threaten or bully Johnny then he may feel the need to serve and protect himself.

No, it comes from bad parenting. I wasn't allowed to watch violent shows/play violent video games until I was twelve. Nothing sexual until I was 13. My mother always made sure I understood the difference between games/movies and real life.
