And smashing plates to relieve anger – which is pretty damn funny, if you ask me – is much better than holding anger inside and then blowing up all of a sudden. Different people have different struggles, and for some anger is not much of a problem. They can control it. But for those who get pissed off really easily, I'd rather see them take it out on inanimate objects than get physically violent.

I disagree. We always need an outlet for our anger. It's a RELEASE. People have to take responsibility for their habits and addictive personality, and making the civil choices. It's wrong to think that the average person couldn't deal with releasing anger without making it too much of a habit.

See, we humans have these things called "habits." When we do something, and it makes us feel good, we want to do it again… and more often. This is why you don't see a lot of Buddhist monks throwing bricks through storefront windows on their path to enlightenment and Lifetime original movies spend more on broken casserole dishes than on acting. The rush of anger is addictive as hell, and letting yourself lash out as a means to control your anger is like drinking to control your urge to drink.

And that's bad news, considering there are lots of situations where you don't have an inanimate object to take it out on. If a person gets entrenched in the habit of beating the living sh*t out of an inanimate object every time they get upset, heads are going to roll if they can't excuse themselves from a meeting to go chokeslam the tank on the break room water cooler.
