Pirates .VS. Ninjas
 
Pirates .VS. Ninjas,

Who's better?
Which group do you belong to?

I'm a Ninja myself, but most of my friends are Pirates so I started the Ninja Nation where all my fellow ninjas could hang out. But the Pirates started he Pirates Pleuge. (or something like that.) But ninjas are way better, we have better wepons, cooler outfits, we smell better, and we don't get drunk fall off out ship and drown.

x3 I like them both---so I'm neutral. =D Im a "Ninjarite"!

Dawn Crest 03-18-2007 01:23 PM

Ninjas 8) We have awesome outfits and weapons, plus spiffy moves! ^__~

Alegretto 03-19-2007 05:57 AM

Pirates are loud, vicious brutes who get to rape, pillage, and drink excessively.

Sure, their health plans suck, but they get to have more fun than ninjas!

GO PIRATES.

Lilithia 03-19-2007 05:58 AM

Where's the NEITHER option? :( I'm cooler than both, dammit! D:

Jennger 03-19-2007 06:23 AM

I think pirates are cooler then ninja's becase pirates get all the girls whereas ninjas have to always hide themselves. 8)

AkashaHeartilly 03-19-2007 10:19 AM

Pirate Girls and Women are always hotter than Ninja's!

And besides we Pirates always have the better parties, peoples, antertainment, booze, transportation, weapons and clothes.

Plus we believe in equality and everyone getting a fair share of the booty.

You ninja's got that whole honour thing and giving everything to those above you.

Aeris 03-19-2007 05:28 PM

Ninjas are super cooler than pirates....

But what if one day a pirate and a ninja fell in love and they had piratey-ninja babies? The world would explode from teh ultimate winness. :shock: XD <3

kaptain kooky 03-19-2007 07:26 PM

This shouldn't even be a debate. PIRATES!!

Just look at Pirates of the Carribean. Whens the last time a movie about a ninja got all the girls swooning for Jack and guys wishing they were him

YARRR!!!!

Cyanide 03-19-2007 08:59 PM

Pirates. Hands down. :]

momus 03-19-2007 09:01 PM

Vikings all the way. I don't care if that's not one of the choices, I'm a viking, damnit!

Though it is fun to talk like a pirate...

mooglebunny 03-19-2007 10:58 PM

PIRATENINJA! All the way. xD

Haha, I like ninjas more though, because they are just super awesome, they have swift ability, are quiet usually, and have those cool black outfits.

Pirates are cool because they have birds, eye patches, wear kinda cool outfits, have those sweet hats, and like... say cool stuff. :P :wink:

chibiwizard 03-20-2007 04:21 AM

Ninjas of course

i don't see a show about people running pirate obsticles . The ninja obsticles look so hard so much upper body strength needed >.>

Doofus Soda 03-20-2007 03:18 PM

  • Ninjas are much more better all the way.

Emo_Kid_Parade 03-20-2007 08:36 PM

Ninjas Yeah! We're much better than pirats, no doubt.

Master Nemesis 03-21-2007 12:01 AM

Ninjas FTW!!!! *Eats the face of a pirate*

*stabs you in the face with a cutlas, stills all your saki and runs away with your women, cause that's what pirates do best!*

Also we win by doing that every time, just watch "Animal House" and John Belushi's character for the proof!

Nekuyo 03-21-2007 10:19 AM

*takes a deep breath*

Pirates are better for the following reasons:

Real Ninjas do not wear cool outfits... they wear black pajamas.
Pirates do not have to live by any rules, students of ninjitsu have lots of rules and crap to follow.
Pirates have cool outfits... and hats, very cool hats.
Pirates don't need to have perfect hygiene like ninjas (seriously, if you smell even a little as a ninja people smell you coming WTF @,o)
Boats rock (no pun intended).
Johnny Depp, Orlando Bloom, Kira Knightly ('nuff said)
Pirates do not have to live a life of secrecy - you can tell people you're a pirate and get away with it.
Pirates get to steal stuff and kill people, ninjas don't steal treasure.

Pirates FTW.

Miss Charlaine 03-21-2007 11:38 AM

Pirates. Hence the eyepatch.

Donna 03-21-2007 10:34 PM

Pirates. <3

Reasons Why Ninjas Kick Ass, and Pirates Do Not:

- Ninjas wear black, and if you call his/her clothing pajamas to his/her face, I guarantee that he/she will pull your lungs out through your throat. A pirate wears rags.

- Male pirates wear ass-loads of jewelry and are illiterate, while female pirates are hairy and smell funky (I don't know where you were raised, Nekuyo, but where I come from, not stinking is a GOOD thing).

- Despite what Hollywood tells you, the coolest thing a pirate does is plunder stuff and go "Yarr." Ninjas have dozens of cool ninja tricks.

- A pirate kills someone, and they get dozens of soldiers and sailors chasing after them so they can hang them on the gallows. A ninja kills someone, and it gets blamed on an accident. No extra trouble to deal with.

- Ninjas get paid nicely to do what they do. No need to plunder.

- As a ninja, you don't have to worry about somebody stabbing you in the back over the tiniest thing. They have something called 'honor'.

- Pirates use pistols and muskets and cannons and all that junk. Ninjas don't need guns, period.

- Hattori Hanzo, Kotaro Fuma (ACTUAL ninjas, not actors)

- Most significantly, a ninja can easily kick a pirate's ass in a one-on-one fight. Boo-yah.

Only the scullions and other low-rank crewmembers. Ever see how nice a captain or officer dresses? Jack Rackham and Bartholomew Roberts were pretty freaking snazzy.

Wrong. While some kept jewelry, they mostly sold it or sent it home. And their hygiene was no better or worse than that of most seafaring people of the age.... or most European-based culture, come to think of it. And illiteracy was common back then. I bet you that there were a good number of ninja back in the day who were illiterate, as well.

Despite what Hollywood tells you, ninjas are little better than an assassin, stylized and glorified by modern society. JUST LIKE PIRATES.

Wrong. People knew it was the ninja most of the time, but they had no definitive proof. Pirates just didn't care enough to cover their tracks.

Plundering is fun. The major navies of Europe did it to each other all the freaking time. Plus, plunder means rape and a chance to get a bunch of non-monetary items that were otherwise difficult to find.

Pirates had their own code of honor, as well. They only mutinied if the person in command deserved it most of the time. Besides, not even ninjas are above internal struggle. THEY kill other high-profile figures as well. Isn't that kind of the same thing?

Considering the types of battles pirates often engaged in, cannons and guns were needed. Kind of hard to stab someone on a ship several hundred feet away from you. :/

Hattori Hanzo= was actually a samurai, if you read your history. He only led a group of ninja.
Kotaro Fuuma= worked mostly with cavalry. Technically he was a ninja, but he honestly didn't do all that much.
Compare them to say, Jack Rackham, Bartholomew Roberts, and Blackbeard. These men wreaked terror across MULTIPLE nations for YEARS.

Says who? Pirates got the ranged weapons, after all. Plus, they can fight on both land and sea. Ninjas are only for land, and fighting at sea is actually a damned hard thing to do.

Here's a hint: do your homework and read up on both sides before you attempt another argument. And no, Samurai Warriors is not a viable source.

Master Nemesis 03-22-2007 08:01 AM

I wasn't trying at a serious argument. I'm way too lazy for that. >.< And I will admit that I got Kotaro Fuma from Samurai Warriors, but I knew about Hanzo long before that, and if you lead a bunch a ninja, you qualify as a ninja yourself in my book.

Alegretto 03-22-2007 08:06 AM

As a history minor, I must argue with that. If a British commander leads a squad of American troops into battle, does that make him American? Doesn't work that way, love.

And for me, my counter-points weren't very serious or in-depth either. :D

Yes. Yes it does. Logic is useless in my little world, as you will see. XP
