I should preface this by saying that I'm about to talk about shit that I have no scientific bearing on and it's mostly just my world view and from my own experiences.
Humans are violent and impulsive by nature, just how it is. The two things most prevelant in media? Violence and/or pornography, fucking and murder. Now seeing as this is ingrained in humanity from the get go, you'll never make pacifism wide spread and the norm unless you change the fundementals of human nature and.. good luck with that. Like you said, "doing that kind of thing is like a drug". Our physiology is built for acts of violence, all society does is keep those acts of violence in check and only allows it against those that the current society deams a suitable target.
So yeah, pacifism is cool, peace and love is all groovy but outside of a drum circle it ain't happening.
