www.youtube.com/watch?v=d-qYljgyDGoI have often brought this up, but seriously, what do you guys think? My vote, of course, is Ninjas. Why? -Stealth -They're not fat -They aren't questionable in their sexuality (it can get pretty lonely out at sea). -There are no bad ninja movies, but there are bad pirate movies. -Come to think of it, EVERY pirate movie was bad. -More badass weapons. The list goes on.

You are completely wrong. Ninjas were a bunch of pansies who couldn't do anything, and relied on an overblown reputation to make people scared of them. Pirates actually went out and fucked things up. Pirates had cannons, and guns (which are, by definition, millions of times more badass than some sickle on the end of a rope), and were almost certainly better sword fighters (take note; Jackie Chan does fencing - not ninjutsu - to improve his reflexes. While a ninja is doing some girly pirouette, the pirate is sticking him in the gut with his hanger). Furthermore, pirates have much better pedigree than ninjas - Vikings. You don't fuck with Vikings. Ever. Because they will kill you and interbreed with your women until you are a Viking yourself. As for the movie thing - who cares? Pirates have Monkey Island I and II, and Sid Meier's Pirates!, and ninjas do not. You lose AGAIN ninjas. In terms of other fiction, Conan was a pirate for a while. Whoa, it sure is looking bad for ninjas. Then there is the fact ninjas get wimpier as they group together, which, frankly, is lame, while pirates get many millions of times meaner. On that note, everyone knows that ninjas are easily defeated by maverick cops, while pirates specialise in defeating - or, at worst, evading - the authorities, maverick or not. And then they get knighted or end up with noble titles for their efforts, while ninjas just go and sit in the dirt under a waterfall like a retard. Good work ninjas. Finally, in real life, William Kidd apparently attacked Japan at some point and totally kicked its arse. Eat shit ninjas, you couldn't do anything about that.

Someone is a bit more passionate about this subject that I am. I'll thwart you with rebuttal in the morning.

Yeah, this question comes up in my day-to-day life surprisingly often.

Do you work in tech support or some sort of computer field?

No, I just hang around with nerds. I'm still looking forward to being bamboozled, by the way.

It's like you looked DEEP INTO MY SOUL.
No, really, I'm nothing like them. If they were TRUE GAMERS they wouldn't be playing 3e DnD, owing to the fact that it sucks. And even if they aren't, they sure as shit wouldn't be using any classes presented in Unearthed Arcana. Vampire: The Masquerade sucks too.

Just ragging on you.
But yeah, that's part of what makes them pathetic.

But stealth... and slice... the ninja could kill the pirate so easily after he passes out from booze.

Pirates of the Caribbean DID suck. And don't let anyone tell me different. That is just an extended, dramatic, chick flick disguised with Johnny Depp antics.

Yeah, sorry man, Pirates of the Carribean was (while entertaining enough) both unoriginal and completely stupid. Zer0 was totally right about the ninja/pirate movie thing, but completely wrong about everything else.

Okay, but what about the boat-thing. It's no myth that women weren't allowed on boats when men went journeying.... except for the Mayflower... but there were no female pirates. Which means there was a lot of buttsex.

Three Ninjas was about the worst thing ever, but I saw one fairly recently and laughed my arse off. They get a pass in that regard, anyway. Also, Zer0: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anne_Dieu-Le-Veuten.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charlotte_de_BerryPirates may have had a lot of butt sex (although I'm sure many confined themselves to wenches willing and otherwise), but the Spartans were full on paedos and they still managed to hammer the shit out of most anyone who pissed them off. Not to mention the Samurai. Wanting to plunder someone's sphincter doesn't necessarily stop them from kicking it too (the technical term for a homosexual who can bust heads is a 'tailgunner', by the way).
