sorry,but the death metal,video games had nothing to do with it.maybe parents not being there,i might believe that. but it's in them from birth.i've listened to matel for a long time and i don't want to beat someone with a ball bat.neither do my kids.they're screwed up from day one.don't blame it on something else

I agree with you

But I also believe that just because you are born with a propensity for violence that you will be violent.

I believe that a nurturing family that disciplines a child that displays violence and cruelty and rewards kindness can prevent that propensity for violence from being developed.

The violent video games, death metal music and gangster rap I believe simply reinforce the violent behavior by normalizing the feelings they have for anger, hatred and cruelty.
