Topic: Obligatory Pirates V Ninja Thread

[TMW]

I am sorry, but ninjas are not cooler than pirates, and here is why.

Pirates don't need to be stealthy to kill you.  They'll do it while you look at them.  Ninjas are pansies and need stuff like "stealth" and "poison" to come out on top.

A pirate? He'll cut you open or shoot you full of holes, then feed you to the sharks, all while looking you in the eye.

Also, International Speak Like A Pirate day.  You don't see any "Speak Like Ninja" days, do you?  Thats right, they are silent and therefore SUCK.

I agree Pirates are better than Nijas. Though Ninjas are better than Polar Bears.

Ninjas, Pirates, and Robots all fail when compared to the mighty Red Mage

Can pirates do this??

KAGE BUNSHIN NO JUTSU

**poof**

I LOVE HALO 2 my post is a train wreck tiku tiku tiku!  MY OFFER IS INVALID, LIKE MYSELF. sparkling innovation buy all  comic book

I kind of screwed up and my replicas look nothing like me or each other but still Pirates can't do Jutsu, use Bankai, don't have Sharigan, or SoulSlayers, They can't become Hokage, or Shinigami, Ninja's are the shiznit. Pirates suck. Except of course if you're one of the Straw Hat Pirates then you're cool too.  Or you're Johnny Depp.  

[TMW]

Dude...seriously.  Don't confuse your japanese porn cartoons with the real thing!  Just because some ninja in an "annimay" can do that sort of stuff doesn't mean real life ninjas can.

But all the reasons I listed for pirates stand for REAL pirates.

Even the not as cool phillpino ones.

Plus it's easier to become a pirate than it is to become a ninja.

ninja: Find a mentor, get him to teach you the secret ways of the ninja and train for years.
pirate: Grab a boat and a rifle, rudder a few (more than three) miles away from the coast, approach a civil vessel (ship or plane) and open fire. You're a pirate now. You could optionally get an old war plane, get the weapons working and shoot down a few airplanes or drop a bomb on a freighter. But you'd have to do it over international waters.

MaryJane: Soul Reapers are more like samurais than ninjas. Samurais are closer to soldiers than assassins.

But the coolest of all are real assassins. That emperor didn't pay your "safety insurance" fee? He'll find that his best friend may be even better friends with you and is just waiting for his chance to get those 72 virgins he was promised.

Garrrr! Every day is Speak like a Pirate Day!

Hahaha, ok I didn't know you guys were taking this seriously but if you are... let's dance.

Real ninjas do have Jutsu's obviously they aren't like the ones they show in Anime, but train your body enough and there are things you can do beyond that of a normal soldier, like run up a tree Jutsu, or sneak into the womans steam room jutsu.

Things that are harder usually turn out to be better. If a Ninja and a pirate got into a fight who wins? Ninja. If the pirate has a gun the ninja uses stealth and kills him. If he only has a sword fa get aboutit. Ninja wins. Plus there's something to be said about the tradition, and honor of Ninja's.

Real assasins, are specialized ninja's, another reason they're so cool.  

[Caliban]

They're both great. But I'm better.

Dude, if we're talking about the real thing, and not porn cartoons then ninjas win a million times over for the sheer fact that ninjas never go weeks without bathing and they don't poop in a hole in a boat.

Cervantes trashes Taki. QED.

Pirates got guns, they got missiles, they got cannons, they'll mow down those silly ninjas before they've even drawn their antiquated weapons. (Wiki: "Seaborne piracy against transport vessels remains a significant problem (with estimated worldwide losses of $13 to $16 billion USD per year)") Never mind that pirates only fight at high sea (because otherwise they wouldn't be pirates) where Ninja skills would be pretty useless.

Oh and modern day assassins suck, this whole uncoordinated suicide bombing deal simply lacks the style of Hassan-i Sabah conquering a fortress by planting more and more spies inside until he can just walk in there and order the owners thrown out.

Also, Wiki on Ninpo: Ninp? () refers to various skills used by ninja, but mostly supernatural and fictional. Ninja are said to have actively encouraged such superstitions about their abilities to inspire fear in potential enemies.

However, Ninjutsu is real, except the term means "art of stealth" so it should be expected from any secret agent.

[wandering]

In real life, ninjas are probably better. Pirates steal stuff. Ninjas train for years and all that.

In the fictional realm, though, yo-hoing, eye patches and talking parrots > people dressed in black who don't say anything.

[Nephilim]

the thing is pirates werent as comic books/movies say they are
most worked for countrys and had orders

were ninjas worked for countrys and had orders
but didnt cover it up with lame hollywood movies featuring sex symbols

[MaryJane]

Pirates do fight on land, they have to dock eventually then the ninjas kill them in their sleep.
Since when do pirates have missiles? I mean seriously missiles?
Ninja's have honor and unless you got a guy name Uchiha Itachi working for you, you don't have to worry much about mutiny.  

[KnowsNothing]

I'm betting that a lumberjack could take down a pirate and a ninja in one mighty swing of his axe.

[TMW]

The only thing honor gets you is shot in the back.

And, technically, cannonballs count as missiles.  

And really, the "pirates" that worked for various countries weren't pirates, they were Privateers.

[vudu]

That doesn't change the fact that pirates poop in hole on a boat and have sex with dead squid.

[MaryJane]

Hmmm... just wondering. Who gets more girls? The well built, can impress with ninjutsu, ninjas.
Or the rich, carefree, fun-loving pirates?
I'm a girl I go for a ninja, less chance of catching a disease from a dead squid.

[vudu]

Ninjas can sneak up, impregnate you, and sneak out without even being spotted.  (Even if you're a guy.)  They're that good.

So do bullets and shuriken.

If I have to choose, it's pirates.  Otherwise, pirate ninja robots all the way.

Pirates go on land to sell the stolen goods and buy supplies, they are perfectly capable of sleeping on their ship.

Dunno since when but columbian smugglers have missiles now so it wouldn't be far-fetched to think that pirates have a few stinger missiles and other man-mounted anti-armor weaponry. Especially if the pirates were using decommissioned warships, those often have missile launchers. Hell, a rich pirate could probably get a cheap submarine and start torpedoing things.

You should see the toilets on modern ships, they're far from being mere holes in the ground (unless you've got a japanese ship). And I don't think anyone needs dead squid anymore, you can get a replacement that's not rotting away from any sex shop.

Hmmm... just wondering. Who gets more girls? The well built, can impress with ninjutsu, ninjas.

What girl is impressed by you being able to sneak up on her without her noticing? That's more creepy than impressive.
OTOH, pirates got everything, money, a few yachts, probably even tattoos unless they prefer to lack identifying marks.

If I have to choose, it's pirates. Otherwise, pirate ninja robots all the way.

What, no love for Ninja Pirate Mushrooms?

[vudu]

Who could put a stop to this madness the fastest--a pirate or a ninja?

My vote's for the ninja.

[wandering]

neither!
