As the campaigns point out - most of these people know no other way to be.
As I've discovered, as well: sometimes emotions do take over.
The trick is to learn other ways to handle them. As I've told a couple of people, there's a REASON we have a punching bag in our back yard. Emotion HAS to be vented, somehow, otherwise it builds up and builds up until you explode.
I have hit people in the past. Not many times, but once is too often. I don't anymore. I use the punching bag, or beat a pillow against a wall, instead. My adrenaline and other emotional neurochemicals demand an outlet, so I give them a harmless one.
And our pillows get lovely and fluffy.
Seshat's self-help guide:
1. Would you rather be right, or get the result you want?
2. If you're consistently getting results you don't want, change what you do.
3. Deal with the situation you have now, however it occurred.
4. Accept the consequences of your decisions.

Actually, after a quick Google, it seems there are lots of places where you can pay to destroy dinnerware.

I rarely ever get angry enough to feel like hitting anyone or anything. I mean my day has to be going horribly, and I mean horribly, to get that riled up over anything. When I do, I take it out on inanimate objects. Like I said, I rarely ever get that mad.

I've done this on an amateur basis for years. Works really well, too. Went through a couple of hundred dollars worth of garage-sale crockery during the rannygazoo that lead up to the divorce, but it was worth it.

...and now you have the oddest fantasies about garbage collectors?Quoth smileyeagle1021 View Postand I'm willing to bet that he had 'good reason' to hit her... she obvious did 'something wrong' and 'needed to be straightened out'
and I'm sure his application of force is going to be just as efficient at changing whatever was 'wrong' with her as 'Jay's" (name changed) attempts to make me less of a queer back in the 6th grade by beating me with a metal trash can *hint, it didn't work too well... I'm still into guys
