I don't have a problem playing with strangers.
It makes the whole experience a whole lot better, because you can decide whether you want to like them or hate them.
If you like them, there's a fair chance that you become gaming mates and you'll most likely hook up to play games again. In this sense, age, color, creed, sex, etc, play no part in your friendship, as you are both playing for the same reasons. This is a major advantage of online gaming, and I don't think many people utilise it. Like regular friends, online gaming friends must have some sort of common ground. Well, you're playing the same game! =O Go figure.
Alternatively, if you hate them from the very beginning, you can decide to knock a bullet in their mouth, then strap a C4 to their ass.
Just my perception on things.
