although I agree that kids swearing doesnt sound nice, its only that way because society made it that way. There is nothing inherently wrong with the words.

Thats the idea exactly, when the normans (I think) invaded england, they replaced the existing language with their own. Any person who spoke the old language was punished and eventually only the poor pesants spoke like that, while the lords spoke the new language. The words meant the same and there was no difference really, its just that the ruling class forbid the use of them.
This was passsed down and now it feels natural to say that these words are bad.
