| Don't say "Earthlings"! Do not use the phrase Earthlings when refering to organisms that live on Earth. It sounds stupid and cliche' Instead, use : Humans Earther or Terran (Earth is also known as Terra Firma) I like this one. |

| Re: Don't say "Earthlings"! ''Silence puny Terran....'' Nope, it just doesn't have the same ring somehow  It's like politically correct members of the Klu Klux Klan at a burning night... ''String up that 'African American Citizen' so's we can whup him good pa'' Mildly amusing...but not right somehow  right...off to my bund meeting now |

| Re: Don't say "Earthlings"! One on hand, I find the term 'Earthlings' offensive and degrading. On the other hand, aren't villians supposed to be offending and degrading their enemies? Hm...TAKE ME TO YOUR LEADER. Isn't that kind of case specific? What if you don't want to go to the leader? What if you're talking to them now? |
