Actually, listening to an Irishman on Xbox live costs about $160 American, or $1678 Canadian
It's the fact that it gets into your head. Accents are the easiest way to single someone out because you can't tell someone's skin color by their voice (mostly) and unless you hear them say the n-word you don't know anything about them. Americans (and I am American) are the biggest assholes BECAUSE we're American. We have our Red, White and Blue flag power pumped so fully into our veins that we think we're the shit, and everyone NOT so is shit.
That's the stereotype, not ALL of us, just most of the country. But the insults come not because of the general reason most of the time, but being made fun of gets into your head and obscures your judgment, making you more likely to slip up and do worse while the insulter gets the satisfaction of knowing they're messing with you and take advantage of your slip-ups.
Country doesn't matter to me personally, I'm proud of the fact that I'm from American and especially proud of my home city, Cleveland, Ohio. I feel it defines me as myself. That's why joking about a persons home can mess with them, their pride gets hit. Like in Knocked Up, when they make fun of the guy with the beard over and over again just for having it, it messed with his mind so he eventually caves in. That's the point of slag or insults or whatever, to hurt a person's pride to the point that they lose focus and cave in like a fat man walking in San Francisco, California. (making another American reference, you crazy oversea people wouldn't get it)
^-The above final line is a joke refering to the topic at hand and CheckD3 apologizes to anyone who would be offended by it, since they're probably pansies-^
