I am unable to ask Oscar given his current disposition . However, perhaps the subtlety is in the definition -
wick·ed -Evil by nature and in practice
vul·ga'r - Crudely indecent. Deficient in taste, delicacy, or refinement. Marked by a lack of good breeding; boorish.
Perhaps 'proper society' is more likely to pursue titilating wicked activities rather than vulgar activities.

As long as war is regarded as wicked it will always have its fascination. When it is looked upon as vulgar, it will cease to be popular.

Gday...
OOPS - guess I touched some open nerves. Didn't mean to raise the wrath of the masses. I had no idea Oscar's quote would stir you up.
Apologes extended and consider me chastised.

Having been a contestant in a war game (got a silver medal for comming second) It is my opinion that war is a lot more Vulgar than it is fasinating. Maybe it is differant for spectators.
