Impulsea and emotions beyond our control shouldn't be considered right or wrong. It's our actions we should concern ourselves with.

Although I concur that the motives behind curiosity and the subsequent actions or words that may be undertaken on account of curiosity are more valid criteria for judging whether something is 'wrong', I must also add that the context is essential. Without a point or frame of reference, one cannot determine whether something is 'wrong'.
I can, however, imagine instances where curiosity may be dangerous. Is that what you are refering to?
In the event that curiosity is dangerous or might lead to a perilous action would implicate curiosity as being 'wrong' and/or 'harmful'.
I suppose a fitting example would be Pandora's Box.

The emotion of curiosity is never WRONG. The motivation behind the curiosity or the possible action taken from the curiosity is what could be wrong.

I agree with severin.
I could be curious about what would happen if I plugged in a hair dryer, turned it on, and then took it into the shower with me after turning the water on. If, however, I act upon that curiosity, I would likely be dead. In this case, I must presume that a result of "dead" is the same thing as "wrong".

Curiosity isn't wrong as long as it doesn't lead you to hurt anybody. In fact, it is one of the most powerful engines of science!

No, i think we lose our childlike curiosity as we grow up, but we would probably learn a whole lot more if we kept it up. Although, certain famous people (like Pliney's) died from curiosity....He was killed from a lava flow because he was too curious about "how the whole eruption thing" worked. (ancient Greek guy)

Curiosity is only wrong when it is self serving for material gain.

It is always wrong when it is acted upon without a want of wisdom and compassion!
