Why is it that curse/swear words are considered so bad?

I don’t get it. These words restrict what can be on TV and radio. They change the ratings of games and movies. We go through all this effort to keep these words hidden away from our children, even though the second they hit school they are going to pick them up from another kid most likely.

Why is it that we treat these words like black sheep?

I’ve always heard it’s a carryover from social classes. Swear words were the vernacular of peasants and lower class people, so it was “bad” to say them because that makes you a peasant. Could be wrong though.
