This has been the greatest debate of the universe for all eternity. Who is better? Is it the stealthy Ninja, or the drunken pirate? You decide!

how about a drunken ninja?

My vote goes towards the pirate. Overall, they live a better life, always drinking, living by their own rules, and plundering, lots of plundering. A ninja couldn't match a pirates drunken swashbuckling, and the pirate may decide to just shoot the ninja. Either way, in the end, pirates end up with the most booty.

Howzabout drunken pirattical Ninjas?

how about a drunken ninja?Or a stealth pirate?

how about a drunken ninja?

you are my hero...

Or a stealth pirate?

Pirates can't be stealthy. They have parrots that squak, and they smell like booze.

The pirate would have to see the ninja first.

Sure, the ninja might take out a few pirates, but they are plentiful, and would soon notice the ninja. Then it would be a quick cannon to the face.

Pirates have guns, ships, and rum. Therefore, they win.

Ninjas have cool swords, though.

you are my hero...
join the cult my friend...join the cult. :D

Do not forget ninjitsu.

Do not forget ninjitsu.

Ninjitsu? HAH! Drunken brawl > Ninjitsu.

Heck, if the pirate's good enough, he may be able to convert the ninja. You can never have too many ninjas, you know.

Yes, but Ninjas can be lit on fire, wrapped in bacon, and speed through a Hospital zone...

Pirates get to keelhaul people, but Ninjas get swords, nunchuks, throwing stars, etc...

Hmmmm.

ninjas would woop pirates asses bad :mp5:

Ninjas don't get assault rifles, my friend. A ninja could cut a pirate's hand off, and the pirate would just slap a hook in the stub and keep on slashing. They are hardcore. You don't ever see a ninja with a hook.

Who says pirates can't have swords? Cutlasses, rapiers, yarr!!

Anyway, there are pros and cons to both ninjas and pirates.

Pirate pros: Booze, live-by-own-rules, travel the world, plunder, pillage and get laid and basically murder anyone that pisses you off while you're on your 9th beer. And the whole swashbuckling thing is badass, too.

Ninja pros: Stealth, code of conduct, poison usage and totally awesome assassin training from Mars. And a repetoire of weapons and ninja suit +3.

Pirate cons: Squawking parrots that aren't quite potty-trained, not very admirable bathing habits, vermin encrusted, hunted by the various naveys. And there's that whole mutiny thing, and when you're out at sea for months without a wench, things can get pretty lonely. Soon you'll start giving odd looks to the cabin boy. Or worse, the cap'n will give odd looks to YOU. That is, if you're a staunch heterosexual. Plus the whole venereal disease thing.

Ninja cons: Basically worthless on the whole heirarchy, if you're stuck you're basically screwed. There's also that code of conduct: if you dishonor yourself badly enough, you've gotta eviscerate yourself. Which, from what I've heard, really, really hurts and isn't very nice for your parents to find when you don't come down when its dinner time. Besides, also from what I've heard, depending on the ninja group, there's codes of chastity, too.

Pirates outweigh ninjas by both aspects. They get better benefits, but they also get worse drawbacks.

So the only answer is, of course, the Drunken Master.

and you know who would kill all pirates and ninjas in 1 punch??.......

Cutlasses? Rapiers? You call them swords?!? Pah, ninja swords rock.

Ninja-Pirate. 'Tis the only answer.

I REGRET NOTHING! YARRRRG!

Ninjas don't get assault rifles, my friend. A ninja could cut a pirate's hand off, and the pirate would just slap a hook in the stub and keep on slashing. They are hardcore. You don't ever see a ninja with a hook.

That's because ninjas are generally good enough that they don't get their hands cut off.

Yes, I call them swords! Just because one thing's better doesn't mean the less-than-greater thing isn't what it is. I have plenty of blades of my own, up to and including:

1 hand-and-a-half sword
1 katar
1 wakizashi
2 scimitar (no Drizzt references please)
1 cutlass
1 longsword
9 bokken (wooden katana)
1 shinai (bamboo practice sword)
1 rapier
1 dagger
4 knives

Katana are the epitome of swordforging skill, yes. But that doesn't mean the others don't qualify as swords.

Swords have three purposes. They are purely offensive weapons.
Purpose #1: Kill.
Purpose #2: Maim.
Purpose #3: Hurt very badly.

Some may say, 'No! Swords can be defensive weapons!' Yes, but still, their core purpose lies in offense. You can parry and you can block. But you do so enough to be able to kill, maim, or very badly hurt your opponent. The core of it is to kill/maim/hurt. Hence, offensive. Bwahahahaha!

Hmm....How good are you with a rapier? 'Tis my weapon of choice.

No worries, I was just being a silly billy.


Anyway, back to business. Who would win in a fight between a bear and a shark?

Well the Japans had pirates, they were called wako, if I recall correctly...and they had ninja...

both rock ( and both ..well have their bad points as has been pointed out ) but hey, put them together-

ninja pirates

and that says it all

Where is the demon ghost pirate option?

Ninjas and Pirates must not fight. They must team-up, otherwise the mockingbird wins.

yarr! pirates have all the best tunes! yarr!

no, wait, thats the Devil, oops...

Pirates are kewler than ninjas because,

1. Lego pirates were cooler-looking than Lego ninjas.

2. Ninjas aren't allowed to grow stubble and act rude.

3. There is no such thing as "Talk like a Ninja Day" while there is a "Talk like a Pirate Day":

Talk Like a Pirate Day (http://talklikeapirate.com)

4. Ninjas do not shout "Avast!"

5. Ninjas don't drink grog.

6. Ninja sounds like "ninny."

Pirates win hands down.

sometimes pirates and ninjas can work together as in the famous "how to kill a mockingbird"

and pirates are often associated with rough gay sex and that's also super cool. where as ninja are only obscurely related to gay sex through the works of mishima(which i don't believe ever actually mention ninjas per se but do have a rightwing backwards looking japanese ultranationalist groove ).

Pi-rats win everytime, me hearties, yarrr!

Ninja's, they be good for nothin' sneaks, Narr!

Neither...SAMURAI

Stop bashing ninjas! Or else I´ll tell me mum! *cries*

ninja look just like iraqi insurgents except the don't usually have rpg launchers slung over their shoulders... i generally think the rpgs actually add to the cool factor a bit.

...Tiny plaid ninjas? Har har har.

Not very cool that they ripped off a great line from Monty Python for the title.

Its all a matter of numbers.

Pirates function well in mobs, raiding towns, etc. Wheras ninjas in large numbers are easily killed(known as mook syndrome).

Ninjas function best as single units, sneaking into castles and killing people, etc. Whereas pirates alone are easily caught by the city guard.

1 ninja vs. mob of pirates.......equal match

mob of ninjas vs. mob of pirates......pirate victory

1 ninja vs. 1 pirate......ninja victory

The deciding factor, that gives ninjas the overall advantage, is the stealthy entrance. If a ninja can sneak into a pirate camp, the ninja will probably win. If pirates were to surround the ninja's cave hideout, the ninja would lose, but its harder to sneak around with a mob of pirates. Overall, ninjas get a slight advantage.

Depends on whether or not it's a robot ninja.

I be a pirate, and Ye be false to compare there 'ere ninja to us manly pirates!

Of course pirates are better, Who whould you rather party with a pirate or a ninja?

Ninjas always win.
:mp5:

Ninjas always win.
:mp5:

Not if they're fighting a pirate king.

Flipping Out versus Drunken Swashbuckling?

Too close too call...

If we're debating overall coolness here, I'd have to say pirates, just because they're really really drunk. And have ships. Ninjas don't have ships.

However, if you're asking who'd win in a fight, then I'd definately go with the ninja. I mean, some pirates are pretty good with swords, but how good can you BE with a sword when you're drunk? I mean, eventually you're probably going to fall off of something, or stab yourself, or trip. Ninjas, however, have all KINDS of cool weapons, amazing agility and speed, and all kinds of mad skillz a pirate couldn't even dream of. The ninja would definately kick that pirate's ass before he knew what was going on. Actually...forget the first thing I said, ninjas are cooler.

I ran into a debate awhile ago about wether a samurai or a ninja would win in a fight. I said a ninja, but it's a tough question. Any thoughts?

Pirates of course! Sheesh. Whach'ya think we celebrate al the time for?! It's cause we got booty, and them black shirts got none!

Depends. In terms of head-to-head battle, I would probably say Samurai. After all, they are armored and are as good with a sword as ninjas. However, if the Ninja had the chance to strike first, then he would win. It even comes down to the skill of the Ninja and Samurai. Let's say Kakashi (From Naruto) faced Tom Cruise as he was in The Last Samurai in a fair, head to head battle. Now, as skilled as our man Tom is, Kakashi would undoubtedly kick his sorry armored ass with Ninjitsu and cool weapons. So, I wouild say it's a toss-up between Samurai and Ninja.

yeah, I guess it does depend. It's a tricky question...we spent all of Alegbra debating it and still couldn't agree on anything.

And lo! As expected, the Mighty Flaming Ginger Ninjas of Glorious Doom are killing Pirates in their thousands (well, according to the poll results anyways..).

So all you "would-be" Pirates come forth and I, the Ginger Ninja of Cheezyness will teach you some manners!

Yarr!

(Didn´t mean to revive the thread but just couldn´t help but notice that the Ninjas are indeed winning ;) )

OMG! Ninjas. Forget all this "depends on how many pirates and who gets the element of surprise." Even if it was one ninja and like a million pirates, still the ninja, all the way. Just because that's how totally frikkin awesome one ninja is.

Ninja's....




oh no pirates
