can someone who speaks finnish tells me exactly what adam said yesterday? I have no idea.... he said vittu tätä paskaa directly translated vittu means pussy (I think?) and paska means shit... so he basically said fuck this shit. Well yeah, V$$$u is very vulgar word for pussy, but also very old/ancient word for that, so it ís having a specific tone. |

The kids walking home from school past our house use the "f" word a lot - and worse - and it just sounds so ugly coming out of their 12-13 yr old mouths. Guess they think it's cool and tough like their favorite rappers or something. I think it sounds just as ugly coming out of adult mouths too. I think language has coarsened over the years - a lot. I just don't see the need to express ones self in this way.  Oh yeah - while I'm having my little rant ;D I absolutely hate it when cars go by blaring the "f" words and other obscenities out of their windows. If they want to hear it, fine. Why must I hear it too. ??? |

I have sometimes been taken aback by the things Adam says and where he chooses to say them, too. These days obscenities are in the eye of the beholder ... our culture is so much more vulgar than it used to be. Even now, though, obscenities produce an emotional reaction in the listener -- that's their whole purpose. Occasionally when I hear these things I think that Adam and Sauli still have some growing up to do if saying "bad words" still strikes them as the height of wit. :-/ Sorry, but I don't think that is entirely accurate. According to what? When doing research for historical fiction, I learned quickly that the curse words used rampantly in the U.S. in the 1800s were almost exactly the same that are used today. Exactly. Have you ever seen "Deadwood"? "Game of Thrones"? "The Tudors"? Even "Mad Men," though they don't use all the language, the raucous nature of business, hard partying and casual sex is definitely implied – things were far more "vulgar" then than they are now. Those are works of fiction, but very well researched. If anything, I think political correctness makes us MORE refined now than ever. The preconception of '50s refinement comes from carefully controlled TV where they couldn't even say "pregnant" on TV, well, we all know that was an carefully orchestrated illusion. I think it was also an illusion in many "refined" cultures. Beneath the surface, they were swearing like longshoremen probably at about the same ratio as we do today. Adam cusses. Sauli cusses. Most people do it for emphasis and it brings emotional release. It really doesn't bother me in the slightest. Actually, SusieFierce, I am a historian and early America is my area of specialization. My comment was indeed about public culture. I suppose I should have specified. Private culture is a different matter as ever it was. I regret ever commenting and feel that I lowered myself to be drawn into such a trivial topic. For the record, I enjoy Adam's swearing on stage and off. It often has quite a pleasing effect and makes a statement. I stand by my comment that interjecting random profanities into conversation is juvenile. For the record, juvenile is a value-neutral term that just means "young." Things that are juvenile can often be quite funny. As this was to many of us. Please, everyone, quit beating the crap out of me. |

Same here and I'm not even a Finn :-[ It would be way better to hear him saying something lovely :-/ Maybe it's just me but I always assumed that most people who aren't fluent in any other languages usually only know the swear words because it's funny to swear in a foreign language I'm rushed today so started on page 10 and skipped back to page 16, etc. What the heck!! I taught both German and French at a private boys school for 6 years. Great kids, smart, well mannered, but that never mattered. They would go out of their way to learn the swear words in both languages - not from me, mind you- and I thought it was hysterical. The reason I love Adam is that he is a WHOLE person, the good, the bad, and the (never to me) ugly. To be offended when he does something that 95% of the people of the world do puzzles me. It amazes me every day that he can stay so focused, kind, and patient with all the interviewers and fans, so when he slips off his pedestal just a little, it makes me smile. I seldom swear, not any real reason, but every once in a while something will pass my lips that is less than wholesome and I will literally clap my hand over my mouth and think, "Where did that come from?" It comes from the fact that I am human, that I hear these words every day, and that sometimes a loud FUCK THIS just seems to fit the situation. |

I've been beaten up a few times, licked my wounds for a few days, then come back as incautious as before. #redbadgeofcourage |

Exactly.  I admit it was weird to hear Adam say 'vittu' but sad or offending? NO. : I wasn't offended either. I was surprised that he was actually saying something in Finnish (I was listening to his pronunciation). ;D And he wasn't swearing at anybody, just answering a question. I was surprised by how good his pronunciation was!! :D |
