> [@femmejean](#): > > Probably a bit of racism mixed with genuine skepticism. Would you wager your bets on the former or latter? A racist refused to sell you a bottle of poison that you were going to drink? I worked at a liquor store for four years. If I refused someone service (despite their valid ID) there was a reason for it. If you need to know what the reason was ask the store manager. ---

Good logic but I do have to emphasise the fact that she was from the ‘rougher’ parts of town (even though she was working in a posh place). > > Firstly to correct **Ethirlist** , I’ve never used any fake ID.

Definitely got a few guys suspicious and even asked me to say the date but so far…none refused me. The only one who did was because it was not in the hours of sale. > > Probably a bit of racism mixed with genuine skepticism. Would you wager your bets on the former or latter? So why are you complaining? You just admitted that you expected some poor sod to lose his or his employer’s license to satisfy your juvenile selfishness. In another thread, there’s a bit of discussion regarding whether you’re trolling this site. I think you have provided the answer. You’re just a whinging jackass. ---

I think you have provided the answer. You’re just a whinging jackass. Calm the fuck down mate…Christ. Just looked at your answer and read your location, are you ethnically Chinese or a westerner living there? If it’s the latter, you fit the stereotype of a guy who gave the same exact responses as yours. So old-fashioned. We need less people like that in this world. ---

Wow, that turned ugly… Looks like someone finally got their alcohol. ---

> [@digs](#): > > Wow, that turned ugly… > > Looks like someone finally got their alcohol. Nah…I’m fine. I’m just frustrated because I remember an Irish teacher in my college who went to live in China after learning Chinese from 2006 - present. He was the typical ‘old fashioned’ guy. Not very ‘masculine’ but complained when someone was ‘selfish’ ‘bratty’ ‘mannerless’ ‘cowardly’. (according to previous students) The reason I poked at the poster was because older Chinese people tend to be more ‘conservative’ than Western people especially when they share some opinons on topics. ---

Well, stupidity is ugly. fj seems to enjoy being stupid. ---

So the person who speculated that they weren’t sold alcohol because of racism made a comment that boils down to an interest in there being less “older Chinese people” in the world? To amend what I said to **Monty** , being an idiot doesn’t make you a troll. But the above makes a pretty strong case… ---

> [@femmejean](#): > > I was denied the Jameson whiskey. Probably some old law prohibiting the provisioning of alcohol to imbeciles. You should speak to your T.D. about updating the law to remove this discrimination against people such as yourself.
