Pirates vs ninjas
 

I got to thinking one day (a rare occurrence mind you) and thought what are cooler pirates or ninjas. Pirates have ships and they loot and plunder and ninja just sounds cool. I can,t pick one tell me what you think. :D

Re: Pirates vs ninjas
 

We had this debate at CTY and I say ninja all the way b/c they're awesome and they throw stuff! Although they do attack from behind, they wear black n black is always in fashion. In plus, they have mad kung-fu fighting skills whereas Pirates just say "YARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I'M A PIRATE!!!!" lol :D

Re: Pirates vs ninjas
 

Ninjas all the way.

Re: Pirates vs ninjas
 

Pirate Ninjas.

Re: Pirates vs ninjas
 

There are many perks to being both:

Pirate

1. Has a ship
2. Has a parrot
3. could be a captain
4. has a musket
5. Plunders!
6. says "yar"

Ninja

1. Has an awesome outfit
2. Has a cool sword
3. Can throw stuff
4. is super sneaky (great for when your late to class
5. Could possibly know how to kill you in one tap
6. has a super long really gorey family history

It is quite indeterminate to choose either. Do I smell a 'You might be a ninja if..." or a "You might be a pirate if..." thread?

And it would be so difficult to finish this post without to further emphasize the idea of pirate ninja's introduced by adam richards. so thanks to google I present:

Re: Pirates vs ninjas
 

Ninjas, no question! (by the way, don't take the credit for coming up with this question, it's been a raging online debate for years).

Can a pirate slice your head off from a hundred yards away?
Can a pirate impale you without you even knowing you've been spotted?

Additionally:
Shuriken are way cooler than parrots.
A Katana is way cooler than a pistol.
Ninjas can use makeshift weapons like piano wire.
It takes a lot of pirates to take over a ship. It would take a single ninja.

Re: Pirates vs ninjas
 

Well my friends and I have had this debate several times. I think it all depends on whether you would want to be threatened by natural disasters like a storms on the sea or real people like sheriffs and bounty hunters.

Also, since females were not in good positions (no respect, rape, ect) it would be easier to hide my gender as a cowboy than it would being a pirate (smaller living space, crowded).

Wait? Have I been rambling on and on about cowboys and pirates? NEVER MIND!

Pirates are cool in the cool rugged nifty way, but Ninjas were way more hardcore.

Has anyone ever read the Ultimate Power book / website about ninjas?

Re: Pirates vs ninjas
 

Pirates!!! cuz they have cool swords and they say arrr! and stuff.

Re: Pirates vs ninjas
 

Dude pirates are so much cooler because they pillage and plunder, also they can commender ships.

You should make this a poll.

Re: Pirates vs ninjas
 

I'd have to say pirates - they can go fishing anytime they want!

(You should make this a poll...)

Re: Pirates vs ninjas
 

Pirates are better. Ninjas have no mode of transportation, and pirates have cannons. Could a ninja live with his leg chopped off?
NO. Pirates go and stick somewood on their leg and call it good.

Re: Pirates vs ninjas
 

Clearly ninjas come out on top, due to their ability to hide in plain sight. The pirates think that the ninjas are just new deckhands, and then BAM, shuriken to the face.

Re: Pirates vs ninjas
 

Alligators are better than all of them!

Re: Pirates vs ninjas
 

Ninjas, that are pirates :) I do feel slightly embarrassed posting this as a college student...

Re: Pirates vs ninjas
 

This arguement has actualy come up on 461 before, and i solved it by declaring myself a Ninja Pirate. Thus being the ultimate warrior.

Now the better arguement is Transformer Vs. Transformers...but that arguement is actualy a trick because everyone knows that they are seperate universes and even if they were in the same universe, they wouldn't battle cuz they are both out to fight evil....a DUHH!

but yah, pirate ninjas all the way.

Re: Pirates vs ninjas
 

har har har.....no arguement here

PIRATES RULE

Re: Pirates vs ninjas
 

Ninjas. Hands down.

N > P

Re: Pirates vs ninjas
 

The local radio station (106.9 WCC, the best radio station) had a contest between the two this year at Halloween. But, I had to go somewhere, so I don't know what the results were.
I vote for pillaging ninjas,

Re: Pirates vs ninjas
 

The best solution is: the ninjas poorly disguised as pirates. They were in a short story i wrote, and they were like awesome. Even though their disguises didn't fool ANYBODY. >.>

Re: Pirates vs ninjas
 

I'm gonna have to say Piraninjas myself. They're the lovechildren of Pirates and Ninjas, and they pillage burn and destory all in the name of honor.

Even more preferably, I'd say Pyraninjas such as Trogdor win this.

Re: Pirates vs ninjas
 

Pirates. :points to Surname: The Pirate Mistress. What do you expect? oO?

Why Pirates are Better than Ninjas

1. Pirates have ships. You can threaten people with seasickness.
2. Pirate men wear jewelry, and men +rings (anywhere appropriate)= hot.
3. Pirates wear sexy clothes. I would know.
4. Orlando Bloom + Johnny Depp.
5. Yar is the best word ever.
6. You can run around in stripes and people won't assume you're a convict.

int happiness;
int pirate;

Pirates = Happiness;

Re: Pirates vs ninjas
 

It depends on the situation, in a sword fight either one could win, as both have a lot of experience with a sword. However the ninja would most likely win in hand to hand combat, as many pirates only have one.

Re: Pirates vs ninjas
 

How about a CRAZY Pirate that changes into a Ninja some how??? :D :D :D

Re: Pirates vs ninjas
 

No kidding! - Too bad all pirates aren't that hot! ;)



My vote is for Pirates.

Re: Pirates vs ninjas
 

Ninjas. I mean who could beat a flaming ninja going 300 mph.
And lest not forget the best Ninjas of them all. The teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.

Pirates or Ninjas poll
 

It was requested that there be a poll on this subject. Which do you think is cooler?

Re: Pirates or Ninjas poll
 

You forgot pirate ninjas. :(

Re: Pirates or Ninjas poll
 

Well everyone would vote for pirate ninjas...

Re: Pirates or Ninjas poll
 

You forgot the "Mike" option.


Duh.

Re: Pirates or Ninjas poll
 

I am straight ninja-pirate-chase-mike-kyle-afied lol

Re: Pirates or Ninjas poll
 

You did forget the Mike option. It is the only right answer:p

But since it wasnt there, I picked Ninja -- they are mysterious, sly, can do flips and cool other stuff... and this kid I used to be in love with had this "ninja group" with his friends.

Plus, pirates are like on ships with all men for months at a time -- dirty, hairy, gross. But, they do find lots of gold.

Ninjas are sweet tho.

Re: Pirates or Ninjas poll
 

Definitely ninja.
Some sample logic:
Batman = ninja
Batman > Pirate
Therefore,
Ninja > Pirate

Q.E.D.

:D Dave

Re: Pirates or Ninjas poll
 

i think that ninjas are cool, they can fight and wear cool clothing

pirates are old

Re: Pirates vs ninjas
 

i want to be a ninja, i alredy know how to kill ppl with a single strike

Re: Pirates vs Ninjas (poll now included!)
 

Heads up:

The "Pirate vs Ninjas" thread and "Poll: Pirates vs Ninjas" thread have been merged to created "Pirates vs. Ninjas (poll now included!)" thread. :)

Re: Pirates vs ninjas
 

dude ninjas all the way no question about it cause the ninja would sneek up an dsnap the pirates neck

Re: Pirates vs Ninjas (poll now included!)
 

oh comon, whens the last time youve seen a ninja go face to face in battle, if you ask me they are kind of cowardly...i mean do Ninja's get Parrots on their shoulders :p

Re: Pirates vs Ninjas (poll now included!)
 

heh. :p
Make your own here.

Re: Pirates vs Ninjas (poll now included!)
 

Pirates! (specifically Captain Jack Sparrow :D )

Re: Pirates vs Ninjas (poll now included!)
 

Well Ninjas don't usually pillage do they?

I hear pillaging is the fun part!

Re: Pirates vs Ninjas (poll now included!)
 

I had a huge discussion/arguement about ninjas vs pirates with one of my friends.

I was in favor of the ninjas. Give me anything you got about pirates, I'll 1 up it with ninja info.

Re: Pirates vs Ninjas (poll now included!)
 

YEARGH They don't call me Cap'n Steve because I dress up in tight black underwear!
Thing is Pirates and Ninjas will never meet. Unless its a water elemental ninja, they hate water, its the night gown they wear, it shrinks in water... YEARGH. VOTE OR BE PILLAGED!

Plus being a web pirate is cool, being a web ninja is creepy. E-Stalkers...

Re: Pirates vs Ninjas (poll now included!)
 

Always favored Pirates. They eye patch is a big plus, they can help you with eye safety .Those parrots can really help you memorize new rules when the game comes out by repeating them in your ear. Ransacking is always fun. Plus they don't have talk like a Ninja Day do they? Pirates do! Yarr

Re: Pirates vs Ninjas (poll now included!)
 

Nor do they have a song for Talk Like A Ninja Day, pirates have a song for Talk Like A Pirate Day...
Talk Like A Pirate Day Song
^Save Target As
Ah I forgot about the eye patches which reminds me of a quote
Just remember only 98 days, 02:39:11 till Talk Like A Pirate Day!

Re: Pirates vs Ninjas (poll now included!)
 

Definitely pirates. ;)

After all, just watch any Indiana Jones movie, and then watch Pirates of the Caribbean. One man (Indiana) can easily knock out an infinite number of ninjas, while no matter how many people try to kill a pirate (like Jack Sparrow) he always gets away.

Re: Pirates vs Ninjas (poll now included!)
 

I want a samurai choice... *pout* :p

Re: Pirates vs Ninjas (poll now included!)
 

I would have to say pirates. Pirates are freaking awesome!! And NOT just the Pirates of the Caribbean kind; I mean the real, plundering, YAR pirates of yesteryear. Pirates made twisting the truth an art form! And I don't mean lying, I mean taking exactly what was said, following it to the minutest detail, and STILL getting exactly what they want while managing to ruin your day. Also, true pirates would never sneak up on someone and stab them in the back. If ninjas preach honor, why would they do that?

PIRATES

Re: Pirates vs Ninjas (poll now included!)
 

NINJAS of course!



yeeeep ; may i state that i am also the best female robotics ninja ever? =]

Re: Pirates vs Ninjas (poll now included!)
 

Rob Zombie goes for ninja's because they have both legs, arms, and better teeth. and that ninjas can probably kick a pirates butt
