I think Pirates have established themselves as the coolest. In fact, although his martial arts abilities are unparralelled and he could undoubtedly dominate both the ninja and pirate worlds, Chuck Norris would make an an excellent Pirate...

Ninjas, while having the mad skillz, are clearly not as cool as pirates. Come on people! Eyepatches! Boats! Cannons! Parrots! And... uh... shit like that! Yeah!

but pirates are gods chosen people!

"global warming, earthquakes, hurricanes, and other natural disasters are a direct effect of the shrinking numbers of pirates since the 1800s."

Pirates are "peace-loving explorers and spreaders of good will" who "distribute candy to passing children, thus establishing what is now known as Halloween"

Vikings are so much better than either but if I have to choose;
Pirates.
At least they have lessened code/honour and more ruthlessness compared to the weak and honour-bound ninjas.

If it came to a confrontation, I doubt the ninjas have sufficiently mad skillz to swim onto a moving cutter, under fire from canister shot all the while, get aboard, and defeat around sixty ruthless criminals equipped with superior weaponry. And cutters were eensy little ships.

Real pirates don't flee from anything! :mad:

And ninja weapons are crap. Shinobigatana are lame compared to a sexy cutlass, rusty or not.

Hmm. I think ninjas are more spectator coolness. They're much cooler than pirates to watch, but I suppose I agree that piracy would be more entertaining.

oh, no, no! when they commit suicide, it is much more regularly because they could not fulfill their duties, and need to kill themselves before their employer does.

Not bad
05-06-2006, 15:25
Well there is only one Ninja left and he presumably quit killing people years ago. There are hundreds of practicing pirates still out there killing people at sea for boats or money or goods.

Since Im not big on killing people I pick Wikipedia is communist. And sometimes inaccurate.

Well, think about it.

Pirates share music, movies, basically anything with anyone who want it over the internet.

Ninjas try to grab all the good loot so that they can have it for themselves.

Since I believe that sharing is caring, I'm gonna go with pirates.


(That being said, Chris the Ninja Pirate is possibly the coolest character ever made. Well, him or donkey.)

Ninjas are soo much cooler than pirates. If a ninja is after someone, they die before they even know it. Pirates (while still cool) are way to loud.

Ninjas or Pirates...

hmmm... People will see a pirate coming, but never a Ninja.

I pirate can walk into town and get Hung... a Ninja can walk into town... kill his target, then leave town.

Pirates have ships, ninjas have Clans.

Ninjas.

You see a pirate coming because he wants to. To inspire terror. To let you know that there's nothing you can do, your village is going to be plundered.

I pirate can walk into town and get Hung... a Ninja can walk into town... kill his target, then leave town.
So which leaves a bigger coolness factor:
A murder with no suspect or a hanging followed by a daring rescue followe with much mayhem and mischief.

I know I'd talk about the pirate much more than the fact that Mr. Smith has been killed.

Pirates have ships, ninjas have Clans.
Ship are much coolers than clan.

Ninjas.
WTF? Pirates, obviously.

Cutlass (http://img49.imageshack.us/img49/8162/dscf09640hb.jpg), flint lock pistol (http://www.michaeldlong.net/data/StockPictures/95860-1.jpg), beer keg (http://www.poplarheightsfarm.org/assets/images/beer_keg.jpg) and a wench (http://us.movies1.yimg.com/movies.yahoo.com/images/hv/photo/movie_pix/walt_disney/pirates_of_the_caribbean__the_curse_of_the_black_pearl/_group_photos/johnny_depp10.jpg).

Pirates by a long shot. Pirates have cooler cloths and not to mention they have guns, also cutlesses are made from better steel than katanas. Guns > Brittle katanas.

Oh and BTW wikipedia is my secret plan to distribute communism all over the world. Mwa ha ha ha ha ha ha. :)

Kats aren't brittle, thats a myth. They may be made from lesser quality steel, but the way the steel is forged and treated nullifies the problems that were initially encountered. Because different billets of steel were used and forged together on folded, the impurities in the steel are spread out and slowly mixed in with the rest of the steel. You can see the way the steel is forged in the lines that are shown (incorrectly known as damascus) once the steel of the blade is polished.

Besides, dependent of the blade geometry of the Kat, some are very flexible but if the Kat has Bo-Hi (a fuller) running the length of it then it will be more rigid.


But guns > swords yeah :D

No, they ain't 'super' swords, thats very true. Bloody good, but not the be all and end all of swords.

I'd still take me cutlass and flintlock though, best of both worlds!!!
