[up] I agree.

Don't insult Earth Ponies. You won't like me when you insult Earth Ponies.

Earth Ponies aren't special. That's what makes them special.

The Pegasi seem to be the personal guards of the Princesses (as in they follow them around). Unicorn and Earth Pony Guards have only been seen in Canterlot IIRC.
Actually, earth pony guards haven't been seen, period.

Ginger! Calm your tits!

Earth ponies are Awesome But Practical. There's no way pegasi and unicorns couldn't physically farm, since it's possible to dig and bury seeds without magic, but I sincerely doubt they'd get even half the yield an earth pony could. Applejack grew a full sprout from a seed in a handful of dirt in one second. Their agricultural skills are on par with flight and arguably much, much more useful.

@Ginger

I'm not saying they're inferior, I'm just saying that strength is something anyone can have. Only E Ps can farm extremely well though. Plus, there might be more of them. There's only so much room in cloud cities, and unicorns might be too busy to have kids.
Only three things matter to a hero: strength, courage, and nard-kicking ability.

^Combined with the knowledge that the pegasi and unicorns raided earth pony settlements for food? I'm not so sure about that, Badwolf.

Again, if Pegasi are capable of farming, then E Ps can walk on clouds. End of!!!!

Let's see, the earth ponies have pinkie pie and applehack, unicorns have twilight and rarity, and pegasus...es have dashy and fluttershy.

I'm so conflicted.

[up][up][up][up] I'm not saying they're not better at farming. What I'm saying is that they probably can't make a plant grow in seconds.

I don't think Applejack was responsible for that. She seemed surprised when it happened. Most likely it was to demonstrate how fertile the soil was.

[up][up]Everybody bring back that point, but as far as I remember it, it seemed more to show that the ground was incredibly fertile than that the EP have godlike Green Thumb powers.

[up]Darn ninja! How can they always ninja me ? IM THE ONE WITH THE BLACK TURTLENECK SHIRT !

Note to self: Find those ninjas. Kill them with fire. In case of doubt, shoot fire randomly. Repeat until no more ninja. Then do it again to be sure.

^^Come on, Ginger, now you're just overreacting. Earth ponies can't walk on clouds; that's been definitively stated.

Tell me how it'd be possible that a pegasus or unicorn that tried to start a farm would be physically unable to do that.

I don't think anyone can say Earth Ponies are inferior when most of Ponyville can't hold Big Mac back. tongue

I have to admit earth ponies have the disadvantage on battle. ONE spell in lesson Zero and every pony was out of control!

Did you ever notice how most unicorns have special talents that benefit more from magic (I can't imagine sewing being possible for Rarity without her telekiness) while Earth Ponies seem to mostly have talents that befit hard physical work?

We haven't seen what the greatest Earth Pony or Pegasus can do.

@ L Mage, Drenius, Fallen Legend

Thanks for those replies to my happy good news. Seriously, if I didn't get that Sunday off, I may have not finished my crucial essay on time...which would heavily penalised my final score...which would have made me fail the module...which would have ended my time at University. surprised

Now, I might still fail and get kicked out...but at least I tried. wink

BECAUSE IF THEY CAN THEN THE EARTH PONIES HAVE NOTHING!!! NOTHING!!!!!!!!! THAT'S COMPLETELY UNIQUE ABOUT THEM!!!!

Strength? RD can match AJ!!!

Farming? Other ponies can do it, just not as good!!

@Badwolf: So far, greatest pegasus achievement seems to be the Sonic Rainboom and the strongest earth pony so far is Big Mac and his "I kick ten ponies over the horizon"-kick.

[up]Wrong! AJ was shown to be MUCH stronger than Rainbow Dash. at least Twice.

Plus, I don't know why you want the EP to have something "special". For me they're the Jack Of All Trades of ponies, with a far-above-average strengh.
