I agree that just saying these words shouldn't elicit the reactions that it sometimes gets. I think part of the problem goes back to the puritan mindset, where body parts and sex are considered dirty and vulgar. Because most curse words are either related to sex, or some sort of body part/function. Shit. Fuck. Tits. Piss. Cunt.
As long as you aren't directing it at someone to tear them down just for thinking or acting differently, it shouldn't be a problem. Now insulting someone can be a different topic, depending on how it's done, and how often, and all that. It turns out words can hurt, if that's all you hear day in and day out, until someone kills themselves. But just saying "holy shit" when something surprising happens shouldn't cause an uproar.
