Pirates vs Ninjas (poll now included!)

[Master Spoon]

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.

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

Ninjas all the way.

Pirate Ninjas.

[Jeffmudhs]

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:

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.

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?

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

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

You should make this a poll.

[kjohnson]

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

(You should make this a poll...)

[santosh]

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.

har har har.....no arguement here

PIRATES RULE

[Joe Matt]

Ninjas. Hands down.

N > P

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,

[Enterprize]

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. >.>
