pirates are way cooler then ninjas
but my stupid friends dont aggre please help me figger out who is right

Ninjas >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> pirates

... I cant edit my post... thats annoying ...

That roughly translates to

1 Ninja = 6.02*10^23 Pirates

So one ninja equals a mole of pirates?

I detest that you believe a ninja is formed from Pirates. This is entirely impossible, and if it were true, the world would implode on itself and all that would remain is the essence of Verby's countless innuendos.

I don't care, but having a family history with tall ships and then Merchant Navy in the 1800's I'd read about pirates before ninjas.

no no, Rae, a it would take 6.02*10^23 pirates, to be able to do the same as one Ninja, a Pirate Mole! lol...

Trained assasin vs. some guy who can't find all his teeth?



Ninja... Please.

your friends are idiots. Pirates > Ninjas, any day of the week.

pirates, 5 Arrs out of five

Super Pirate Monkey Ninja Wizards!

Is that a trick question?

No... Ninjas are quite a bit better. Who was easier to get caught and convicted? Who has more famous villians? Pirates, yo.

And you wanna know why you don't know about any famous ninjas? Because they were smart and never even revealed their own identities.

How about this one: Modern society is based on piracy. The end to slavery in the U.S. had not been possible if it weren't for piracy. Piracy, in the form of Vikings, held off the Crusades against the North for two hundred years. The Netherlands was founded on piracy. The first europeans to set foot on America were pirates. The spanish armies, in their conquest for control over europe, were defeated by pirates.

And what did ninjas do? They killed people. But the important, political, kills, weren't even made by ninjas. They were made by hitokiri. (Slayers of humans.) Actually, ninjas were not even trained as assassins. Hitokiri were. Ninjas were trained as spies. It was only when the caste of ninjas fell that they screwed over their own code and started to hire themselves out as assassins.

All in all: Ninjas never actually accomplished anything, while pirates shaped the world in their day.

So pirates win big time!

Well....Pirates are men who are gay who wanted to get away from the christondom so they'd go out at sea and be gay and enjoy it without listening to other people bicker (Cabin Boys...=X) And Ninjas evolved from Farmers (lots of their weapons are actually modified farm gear) so....if I'm going to pick between a gay guy....and a farmer....I'm gonna go with the Farmer methinks but because I liked Pirates of the Carribian I'm kinda stuck in the middle. not saying I dislike gay people or farmers, BUT, just think about the pirate bit, some weren't gay true, but men...alone...for months at a time.......on a small ship in the middle of the ocean. What do you think they were doing out there when there weren't ships to raid hmmmm? Swabbing the Poop deck? !

Weel, I think they were mainly making dock somewhere, spending all their money on ladies of ill repute...
Of course there were gay pirates. There must have been gay ninjas, as well. But at least there were female pirates. According to history, there weren't any female ninjas.
Oh, by the way: Vikings were pirates. Could hardly call all of them gay, or on the run; they were just people trying to make a living.

I didn't say ALL were gay, I'm just saying a vast majority had to be either gay, or lazy. Instead of just working away on a farm doing for themselves they had to go beat up other people, take their shit and go make merry with it. ...and btw


I own a parrot =P And I DO wear the eyepatch to petsmart when he and I go on outings I don't hate pirates lol

Firstly - You're an idiot. (I won't say who that's towards, just assume everyone)

I keep being told to play nice, but by the great vagoo in the sky, people who would sell their family for speed don't get antsy enough to make threads like this - so what the hell is your excuse? You were bored? Suck it up.



For my vote - Pirates.

The entry requirements are more within my grasp.

For the popular vote - Pirates.
Everyone can identify with sticking it to the man - who the hell can identify with whatever the fuck ninjas are? It makes for some boring arse stories if you don't feel a damn thing for the guy in a black mask, who for all we know is just a burn's victim making a fashion statement and some money making goober took some dodgy film of him cleaning his gutters and called in Death on Rooftops of Saidan

Yes, but who is really doing all the piracy? Hypocrites who claim that their own ancestors "founded" this land.

There is evidence of continued contact between Inuits and Siberians far after the Bering Sea flodded over, as far as 9000 years ago, possibly. Also, evidence may suggest that Afro-Phonecians landed in Central America as far as 3000 years ago. Many Central American portrayals of human-like beings with very large noses and lips, consistent with most African races, although if history texts even mention these traits, they'll usually assume they're supposed to portray jaguar-gods and other dieties, but never an actual human. Columbus had aquried some Arawak spearheads made of "guanine", an alloy proven to be made of gold, silver and copper, identical to the alloy used in West Africa.

I still wouldn't want to get into an arguement with a Viking... well, they did name an area Vineland although it proved to be inefficient in growing grapes.

Again, I have to ask, is this a trick question?

Ninjas > Pirates. Your cutlasses and parrots are no match for a well thrown Kunai or Shuriken.

I don't care, nothing beats Pirates. One Piece has changed to face of Pirates FOREVER!

Ninjas are a superior fighting force in groups smaller than five. On the other hand there is no doubt that a pirate is better than a ninja when he's surrounded by other pirates. they are subject to the inverse ninja law (aka the Stormtrooper effect.)
why'd I bring them up? Stormtroopers would rock both pirates and ninjas... i shouldn't have brought them up.

NINJAS!!! GO NINJA

Yeah, you're right. I guess ninja's are cooler.

Here's how "cool" ninjas are

Pirates. By Far.

Ninjas did not act at all how they are portrayed in modern culture. They were masters of trickery sure. But they were spies they wouldn't kill, they rarely carried weapons and so on. Very few wore the black Japanese theater costume we are so accustomed to seeing them in.

I must agree that the ninja of today is one bad ass. But if we're talking about what each one actually accomplished. Teh Pirates.

it's a little iffy on that one, I've thrown my parrot at someone and yelled kill and my mom almost threw me out because my bird half embedded his beak in his skull ..... oops. However. Yes a Kunai or Shuriken IS more effective for killing, but for startling the hell out of someone a parrot is effective as a distraction.

lob and drill. chuck your parrot at their head, then charge in and swing at their meaty fleshy flesh with your cutlass.

Yes, but not in a good way.



You do not have permission to use "Teh". Your grasp of satire, irony, and various other humourous techniques is feeble.

When I think Ninja, I don't think of those nancy asia boys in their slick black hoods, I think of the SS.

Ninja.

In jackboots.

with Lugers.

Who do I think could win in a one on one fight? a ninja.
Who would I rather be? A pirate, no question.

Also both Naruto AND One Piece have all but killed my interest in either group. Anime sucks, get over it.

lol, go Newfoundland.


Egads, that might be too much for anyone that doesn't know of good cartoons, they need to watch The Tick, Pinky and the Brain, Freakazoid, and Harvey Birdman.

And Voltron, don't forget Voltron.

You poor, poor thing. Dragonball Z is perhaps the best show ever made...besides Firefly. Not all anime is cool, of course, and the manga was better (tons less filler; if I ever see a five minute span of time take up 11 episodes again...oi....), but DBZ rules.

As for the ninja/pirates debate, if you substituted samurai warriors for ninjas, they'd have my vote. Too bad.

DBZ made my eyers bleed, but really the Super Friends is better than Anime.

Hell, Barney mixed with teletubbies is better than anime.

Justice League Unlimited? I mean, it's not anime, but it's all kinds of fun, and I have to say that I liked it more than Super Friends. Totally personal opinion, though.

You know, I heard that DBZ actually caused seizures in some children. How cool is that? I watched the whole Frieza arc just to see if it still worked. It didn't. Shame.

In all honesty, I have to admit that I enjoy DBZ solely for the long-reaching rivalry between the two remaining saiyans. The other characters were meh, as were most of the plots (though the animation -- the good animation, like during fights -- was astounding). But that rivalry was epic. Good times.

Honestly I don't care for DC, except for Batman, and I REALLY dislike how they can't integrate their characters without involving the Justice League. I mean, Marvel was able to do it, why can't they?

I loves my Deadpool, Cable is just a punk that takes up too many pages so Wade can't be on more. My question is why can't the Summers Clan just be killed off.

Because DC would be nothing without Batman. None of the other characters were cool enough, even in groups, without the rich kid with issues. Bless his heart.

Actually, I dunno. As far as comic books went, I did X-Men and Batman mostly -- and only sporadically in those. I missed a lot, so I watched the cartoons instead.

Ah, cartoons. Is there anything they can't do?

Edit: And Hunter, I am fascinated with Deadpool, though I haven't managed to snag a single comic yet. Wasn't some actor in talks to make a Deadpool movie?

The new ones can't gain my attention for longer than 3 minutes at a time.

I'm not sure but I don't think that Deadpool would be a good movie, breaking the fourth wall ina movie only pisses me off, except the two times that James Bond does it though the second time isn't an official Bond movie (Never say never again). I did like the Deadpool comics better than that Cable and Deadpool but since I can't get it anywhere else I will sift through Whiney McThinksalot Summers is doing at the same time. I would love to see Wade work through some of his Father issues though, though his father/s is/are Loki and a dead Colonel (can't remember).

O.o

Okay then. Loki as in the god of chaos, or as in a character I'm simply unaware of (as I haven't read the comic)?

Anyway, all I know about Deadpool is from a friend's rhapsodies and wikipedia, but now that you mention it, breaking the fourth wall in a movie is an iffy proposition. It could work if done well, but comic book movies have a rough track record when it comes to what's done well and what's not.

EXACTLY! That's how it works anyway when I don't want my brother in my room, I just pick the bird up off my shoulder, scream kill and throw him. His wings are partially clipped though so he doesn't quite have the speed to catch my brother but the sight of a multicolored bird screaming as it tries to rake your eyes out for the mere pleasure of his mommy ...you're going to haul ass. That's just instinct. Btw this is my little monster:






I know you're going to say he's small BUT!....not all pirates need a large parrot you see with those baggy jackets and sleeves this bird is compact and easily hidden within the sleeve of your shirt and at a moments notice you wing your surprise attack bird out of your sleeve, knock your opponent off guard and grab the loot. =)

I do have to admit, a flying lackey DOES have quite a few advantages. That really only helps if you have some kind of connection and a strong bond between the both of you, such as a Mother-child, like yours. other than that, I imagine you'd really only annoy each other.

man, if ninja's got as much airtime as pirates, you'd all be bowing at their feet

the problem is that ninja's don't like movie sets... all those bright lights, and nowhere to lurk... on the bright side, there're tons of interns just waiting to get decapitated... in fact it's a lot like Vegas, except exchange interns for prostitutes

Dear god, Magician Pirates with attack birds. If there was a fleet of these guys the world would be doomed!

Cute bird BTW. What kind is it?

all those who said pirates you get 6 woots out of 5

if you said ninjas then may god have mercy on your soul

if you said anime sucks then you should burn in hell and you have obvioulsy never seen helsing anime

pirates are cooler, pirates can and will win in a fight vs ninjas

one word "guns" thats right, pirates had guns

didnt pinky and the brain get canceled? i havent seen it in such a long time, and it was a great show.

For manga to anime conversion technique, look here. this shows how its done.

so sad yet so true
fox ruined one peice

love vgcats by the way

Personally I prefer Physicists. I mean neither Ninjas or Pirates have harnessed the power of the sun. If I was forced to choose between them but I would have to go with pirates just because of Captain Morgan. Even then they would be low done on the list. It would have to go:

Physicists
Chemists/alchemists
Monks
Mongol horse archers
Pirates
Ninjas

I have seen Hellsing, I thought it was a decent idea, but it was botched by the fact that the voice acting sucked, the art was pretty terrible and the plot was rather stupid. It seemed like they were just trying to please the audience with generic violence and vampires. That may work for goths, emos, and sadists but not for me.
