George Lopez has made more money in his 58 years than 99% of the US population will make in a lifetime. I bet he's really scared about his Twitter backlash.

He’s about to be downgraded, HARD. And if he isn’t scared, he probably should be.
Either way, good entertainment.
Wonder how long till he apologizes?

PC culture is about attending a mandated "diversity training" class that assumes you're automatically a racist, sexist, homophobic, xenophobic, anti-Semitic bigot because of your demographic and now needs sensitivity education
I'm all for this 100% in areas like SE Oklahoma.

But are the people advocating for "diversity training" any better?

No, they're just as bad as the people they think need "training".

Agreed. But god damn if those people (most of them it seems) are just plain stupid and CHOOSE to remain so out of some weird something, I don't know what. They stay out in the country and that way they can stay in a certain mindset and breed others to do it too. It's a perpetuation of ignorance, but public schools can be that way too in a big city, home schooling too. People like to be comfy and not get outside of their comforts, mental or physical. I'm no MENSA guy that's for sure, but I don't claim to be either.

No, he’s not about to be downgraded. His career is in Hollywood.

Am I the only person who uses correct (to the best of my knowledge) punctuation and sentence structure in texts? I will write a phone text like an English paper. I try to do that here as well, but...

I TRY to use correct punctuation but I guess it just depends on my mood. 
Also, now im going to be self conscious about it now and will probably use correct punctuation from now on.

I came from an era where your handwriting ("penmanship") was graded! I was writing cursive in second grade and was told to print. School held me back, but I was in Texas. So that explains a lot. I actually excelled in english, reading, and art. Math, social studies, and other subjects were hard for me. I've asked younger people with kids and they told me they don't even teach "cursive" writing anymore, much less grade someone on their "penmanship". Why do they need to? Almost everything is typed or plain print.

I learned both cursive and typing in the 3rd grade. Only one survived past the 4th grade.

LOL!
Do schools teach cursive writing anymore? Cursive Handwriting Will No Longer Be Taught in Schools Because It's a Big, Old Waste of Time. The biggest controversy to take place in the world of penmanship is happening right now: The Common Core education standards dictate that cursive will no longer be taught in elementary schools.
Do they still teach cursive in school? Cursive writing is making a comeback in classrooms in several states -- and Texas is the latest. Many US states are again requiring students to learn cursive writing. (CNN) It's a familiar refrain. Parents lament that technology is turning good, legible handwriting into a lost art form for their kids
Texas, lol.

Ive said it since they stopped teaching cursive. How will people sign their names?
Edit: my old boss was from india and they never learned cursive either which I thought was interesting.....also wrote all sorts of notes(some drug related) to coworkers cos I knew he couldn't read it hahaha.
