And license suspension for [Uber driver](https://nypost.com/2018/06/13/uber-driver-who-kicked-out-kissing-lesbians-has-license-suspended/) Ahmad El Boutari. First Colorado and now this. What century are these people living in, anyway? ---

All of the above. Making out in cars is for teenagers. Uber drivers are going to have to tolerate a lot more than that. ---

According to the article, it was just a peck. They were NOT making out. (As if that even matters) ---

What century are these people living in, anyway? The 20th century? How quickly we forget! I agree that the guy is an anachronism (to put it mildly), especially since this is NYC not Boise, ID. But it wasn’t that long ago that same sex kissing in public was something people just didn’t do. ---

> [@Grrr](#): > > According to the article, it was just a peck. They were NOT making out. (As if that even matters) Arguably it does matter. I can think of legitimate reasons why a driver might not want his passengers engaging in hot and heavy sexual activity in his car. ---

> [@RTFirefly](#): > > Hey, if two middle-aged overweight women started making out in the back of my car, I’d be good with that. I don’t want anybody making out in the back of my car, but then again I’m not willing to make my car into a taxi. And I’m not sure the jokey comments on how lesbians making out is a great sexy show for bystanders’ benefit are in great taste.
