Gday...

I am unable to ask Oscar given his current disposition biggrin. 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.hmm

Cheers - John

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.

Oscar Wilde (1854-1900)

OOPS - guess I touched some open nerves. cry 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. cry

Cheers - John

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.

But, were Oscar's recreational pursuits considered wicked or vulgar?
