Ninjas,says the guy who used to have a pirate avatar.

I read that Ninjas were in the beginning Pirates. I'm not joking, actually I think it was the soke of bujinkan budo taijutsu who said that. So I say: Ninjapirates FTW and win the topic. 8-)

Ninja, because I am one.

 

Yeah walking on water, teleporting in a puff of smoke, moving at superhuman speeds, believe in the chuck norris.

Ninja. Its comes before 'Pirate' in the dictionary. Thus better.

Ninja's ftw. They have stealth, speed, katanas, ninja stars, bow and arrows, kunais', super agility and fighting skills.

:shock: You can't categorize Chuck Norris! He doesn't do conformity! I'd run for your life, if I were you. He heard you type that. He's coming for you.

Pirate because they never seem to run out of rum

ninja-wizards.

Ninjas, for this very simple, insurmountable reason:

Try this game. I'm serious. It's awesome.

 

Obviously pirates would fight in their element, on the open sea. So there's no point in being sneaky if they can see you 100 miles away.

 

 

 

Actually in the second Mongol invasion attempt of Japan in 1281 the Mongols had a huge fleet that the Japanese couldn't match on the water. As the fleet lay offshore of Japan units of Japanese troops would silently row out in the middle of the night, board a ship, kill everyone on board, set the ship on fire and slip back into the darkness.

 

 

 

They were so effective at stealthily taking out ships one by one that the Mongols had to start lashing their ships together with planks between them to be able to repel the attacks.

Mmm, definitely ninjas. As much as I love Pirates of the Carribean, ninjas are generally dark, mysterious, stealth killers, and I like that a lot more.

 

 

 

Though I'm pretty sure the first ninjas were just people trying to avoid the samurai, I still like the image of the dark ones, so ninja all the way.

Pirates. Arr. There's like two hundred pirates for every ninja. Try stealthing THAT. Aha.

It looks like some of you guys are only choosing prirates because you lack ninja knowledge.

 

 

 

Knowledge of the ninja is very powerful indeed and why people choose to become ninja over foolish pirate actions.

 

 

 

Here, I took the liberty of my free time to post you with the most awesome and powerful possesion of ninja technology and knowledge in todays time.

I went to a Pirates vs. Ninja party the other day. though I seriously don't know which one I go for, I went as a pirate, simply so i could wear make up. :)

 

 

 

*shakes head* Ninjas man, Ninjas

ahh yes, there is, but every ninja can take 400 pirates

My source is reading it multiple times in different history books. I'll do a quick web search since you don't feel inclined for some references.

You can find more if you want.

Ninjas are too disciplined, it would get broing.

 

 

 

However I get quite sea-sick, so I wouldn't really want to be either. :(

Lets look at it seriously.

 

 

 

Ninjas, warriors of the darkness, great at stealth and silent kills.

 

 

 

Pirates, element of choice: Water, usually use stuff like speedboats now, which are noisy, however use high powered weaponry. historic pirates, use muskets, cutlasses and wooden ships.

 

 

 

I have to go with the Ninjas historically, however up against modern day pirates, whom have no problem with technolgy, they stand very little chance.

Ninjas have to spend years in training, quiet contemplation whilst getting hit with sticks to learn valuable lessons.

 

 

 

Pirates sail around, looting, pillaging, drinking and spend their time surrounded by booty and wenches...

 

 

 

I know which I'd rather be.

Ninjas full stop.

A ninja right?

 

 

 

And will people stop using the pirate stereotype? Pirates nowadays think through it more. Though still go for the big haul.

Ninjas of course. Stealthy and they have 1337skillz. I'm surprisde the topic's so controversial, I would've expected the majority to like Ninjas. :shock:

Pirate, arrr.

 

 

 

 

 

A lot of people seem to go for ninja, hmmm...

 

 

 

The just LOVE to be the dark, mysterious type.

Ninja, Because no one could see me if I wanted to escape from trouble. You know, Pull some kind of Jackie Chan thing where you jump over six buildings and like climb the empire state building if your running from anyone.

 

 

 

Or pull out some bruce lee moves on someone and put them down for the count.

 

 

 

:D

Fist of Ozzy, theres a world of difference between Ninjitsu and stunts performed in films.
