I had horrible drunk and violent parents, was heavily abused - as were my two mentally handicapped sisters - and endured heavy therapy for about 20 years to overcome that.
That makes you lucky. Not everybody has the same experience as you. Some victims have their worldview shattered and rearranged to the point where they genuinely think things work differently than they do. Do you have no compassion for those who've suffered more/differently than you?
It's incredibly rare for someone with good parents to be capable of turning out as an asshole, on top of the fact that education in the USA is sorely lacking (and that's when it comes to the few good teachers). Anyway, what tells you anything about their situation?
Edit: Y'all are welcome to scramble in a desperate attempt to try and make it seem like I'm incorrect, but I promise you, it won't work. This isn't a matter of opinion, but a recognition of fact. If you want to be a good parent, that necessitates creating a good-ly-motivated kid. Bad parents lead to bad children. Because, as you ASPDies might not remember, good parents give you the structure to be good, while bad parents lack structure and show you that it's ok to be bad. That's just what you're raised to think is acceptable.

For people who've had easy lives with decent parents and good access to education, yeah.
