They at least weren't too direct with Helga's mom being an alcoholic, though they weren't subtle about it either. I can't believe they actually said the word "crap" in a kids show. I'm even more surprised that they got away with it lol.

That word is shocking when it's in a cartoon that's meant for kids and not shows like The Simpsons or Family Guy

I think it's fine to say crap.

Crap isn't a bad word by any means hahah, and I can't call Hey Arnold simply a kids show, it had some pretty mature themes in it, it was more of a family animation. Hey Arnold was good television that didn't dumb its content down for children, and I always liked that. Can't say the same thing for a lot of animated shows on tv now.

I always noticed them saying crap when I was younger so it never bothered me. But I never used to realise the fact that her mum was an alcoholic until I got older, so that's the more surprising one of the two xP

Cr*p not a bad word? I think you need to look up what are considered bad words because it's among them.

lol this is like preschool, arguing over whether or not crap is a bad word

Here is a list of cuss words.

I don't see crap among them. Not saying it can't be though. Really, it depends on how people view it. Little kids view things like "stupid" as cuss words. It really just depends on the person's point of view towards the word. Some people may think it's a cuss word, some may not.

"Crap" isn't a profanity, I see it as about the same as a character using "stupid" or "shut up".

Crap isn't a bad word.
Anyways I was genuinely surprised to know Helga's mom was an alcoholic.

@KataraLover Do not patronise me by calling me honey.

In a kids show!

Zeppie Trust me, that is FAR from patronizing.

KataraLover, I'm not foolish, I know you used the term with false kindness to show your superiority in proving a point. That's just simply the very definition of patronising so don't try to cover your ass here.

Trust me, I'm not that kind. If I wanted to do that I would've been upfront and wouldn't used "honey", I'd be using words that aren't so nice. Calm down! I don't get this bin out of shape when people call me "buddy". So calm down because you're really making a big deal out of nothing. If it bugs you that much I'll get rid of the word "honey" from the comment I made.

@KataraLover I have a solution. When people ask not to be called Honey, don't call them Honey.

I'm calm, simply saying my piece. You seem to be the one being a little frazzled to be honest.

@Zeppie it's because of this jerk on this club named adultswimperson. I hardly even did anything but ask two simple polls and he flipped out on me. So I'm really tense right now, so much that if I met that user in person I'd probably strangle him with my own hands and than kick him in his special area. And that's only if I'm in a good mood, but I wouldn't kill him, even I'm not that cruel and heartless lol.

@BlondLionEzel, exactly, thank you.

Really now? How can I ask you not to call me that if it is not even brought up in the first place. Think before you type.

@KataraLover it's fine. I'm not trying to get at you, I just called you out on something you said to me. That's it. Try not to let this other user get to you, at the end of the day everyone is going to have different opinions.

It was about opinions. It was about the fact that out of no where he called me a troll, that he was going to report me, that I was stupid, and that fanpop will be better off without me. All I did was ask if people considered "crap" a curse word and he jumped all over me. He did the same when I ask who was worse, a woman who runs an orphanage and abuses the children or a man who rapes little kids (both boys and girls). I didn't really do anything that I thought would've deserved the reaction that he gave me.

I understand. I know what it's like to be in a bit of a scrap with another fanpop user because of different opinions, it's not fun.
But all I can say to your situation is to stand by what you believe, however, don't attack someone else's differing belief. Even if they attack yours, don't stoop down to that level. The person who barks the most is generally less respected in those kinds of scraps.

You aren't understanding what I'm trying to tell you. I didn't say anything to begin with. I just made those polls and he jumped all over me calling me stupid, a troll, a spammer, and that fanpop would be better off without me. This isn't about opinions. I didn't say anything to him or even say anything in my polls at all but he just insulted and attacked me. How many times do I have to explain this? It's not about opinions, it's about being attacked for no good reason!

I do understand ok -_-

Like I said, what more can you do, other than stay calm and counter his statements eloquently.
That's all you can do.
It is unfortunate that they're on your back, but that is the internet for you.
You can either give into his attacks and attack back (which I do not recommend) or you can just try (I know it is hard) to ignore it. Don't get all worked up, because that will make you come across as an easy target. It is very unfortunate, but that is how it works.

and dude don't worry, with that first example, people were defending you.

He maybe 20 but he's acting like a typical high school bully. I graduated from high school a year and a half ago so I don't wanna deal with any of that crap! All I can say is that this guy could get hit by a truck and I wouldn't care (I know I don't really mean it but right now I don't care, I'll regret it and become levelheaded later). At least not every is as bad as that jackass.

Yeah I know. He has obviously pushed buttons.
Just take a break to calm down a bit, it'll be good to rest the mind.
