Racists on PSN (Playstation Network)?

This is my 10TH time this week, and probably 30TH time this month that I've received or witness racism on PSN. My friends list consists of europeans, japanese, chinese, american, puerto ricans, and mexicans. I'm black (American) and I was with 2 of my white U.K. friends, mexican friend, and the rest were my black friends. My character is black on Uncharted 2 & UC3 beta and I have "brooklyn" in my PSN name, we played 10 games and all of them were against racist, white Americans. We left every time to play against new people, but they were all different racists on all 10 tries saying "hey, he's black, brooklyn? oh thats a n*gger". We witness this ALL the TIME from White american players (NOT ALL OF THEM) but the racist people on PSN are always White americans. My U.K. and japanese friends decided to just end the gaming for the day, then we talked on the mics about racism in America. Have you ever experienced racism on PSN?

Why don't the guys my age at church like me?

I quit the program to become a pastor and moved back home. My family and I have started going back to my home congregation. I was away for quite awhile because of military and school. There's a group of men my age who hang out together, usher, and talk; however when I come around they shut me out and stare at me when I talk to them just waiting for me to finish talking so they can walk away. I can tell they don't like me but I'm not certain as to why. I wonder sometimes if I'm more attractive than the average guy that goes to church and if their wives were interested in me before they got married. I know that sounds conceited but it's possible and I have to say these guys aren't lookers. I continue to be nice to them no matter how bad they treat me so you can't say they know I feel that way. Is it an alpha male thing? If so why are they cool with each other?

Xbox: gears of war 3 beta/ uncharted 3 beta preference?

There being fan boys with nil knowledge of the previous games. Now, I have both systems. I've played Uncharted 1/2 and Gears of war 1/2. Originally, I was going to pickup Uncharted 3. After playing both betas though I can assure you, just get Gears of war 3. The beta run unbelievably smooth, literally one of the best games I've ever played. Not to mention when the dedicated servers where up it was a master piece. If the whole game ships with the multi-player experience it's defiantly GOTY. Now, I expected the absolute same from Uncharted 3 beta. All I can tell you is, it's a horrible mess. Stay away from it, it caused my PS3 to crash seven times, it froze and lagged. Almost borderline scam. If the full game ships like this it won't be getting game of the year like everyone says, it will be getting a 7.

My Father will be soon on his way to his maker, Do you think the Merchant Marines can appologize to him?

Yep, he operated the amphibious vehicles (DUKW). Back in his day, they were used to load and unload ships during the war times amongst other tasks. Some of those ships flushed their sewer material through exterior pipe openings over head. He tells the story time and again how his amphibious vehicle veered under one of those poop shoots. The crew on the ship watching the situation pan out, just watched and giggled as his vehicle veered. No one warned him. Then the ship's poop shoot flushed the excrement on top of him and the vehicle. He said he had turds all over him and made an immediate jump into the ocean. Also to mention he had to clean the ship's raw sewage out of his vehicle. The on-lookers thought it was funny.

Yamaha Motorcycle Dilemma (Maxim or Virago)?

Well, I guess you would call me a yamaha expert although I have been a mechanic for all brands for 35 years. The 1994 virago would be your best bet. They are in the shop the least of those you mentiioned. Also, resurecting the 83 Maxim would cost more than you think since that 550 is an unuasual size making parts rare and expensive. The 535 virago sold many more units. But, the title is an issue. If you can do a bill of sale and hold off paying him til the title clears that would eliminate any posibility of him trying to sell you questionable merchandise. Also, adjusting the carbs on the 535 is easily done even if you don't have vacuum gauges. The maxims are sensitive at low rpms and absolutely can't be done without the vacuum gauges. Plus the 535 gets better gas mileage.

I like him A LOT. But he could get ANY girl he likes? Short question, please help!?

Sophie, come on, confidence! Listen, at the risk of tootin my own horn, I'm a "hot" guy. And I gotta tell ya, I generally don't go for the supermodel types, simply becuz of their superficiality. Hate to stereotype, but it is what it is. 9 times times out of 10, I go for the "average girl", becuz she can make me smile WITH my clothes on. At the end of the day, it all comes down to personality. And it sounds like ur comin from a pretty genuine place with this case of like. So make him laugh. If he smiles, you'll smile. And then ur good as gold. It might take the goon a minute to put 2 and 2 together, but what r ya gonna do. Smart AND attractive come but once in a blue moon
