Yeah, bash the pirates and glorify ninjas.


I have to agree with you completely. As I previously stated, pirates weren't random, dirty thieves. They were trained sailors with expert knowledge of primitive firearms and how to navigate.

I don't know if I'd consider murder fun


It beat sitting around and making shoes.

So you don't feel at least a bit discouraged by the fact that you'd be taking another person's life? Personally, I'd rather watch paint dry than murder someone.

Pirates, obviously. Sea, sabre, mead and wenches, gold, cannon fights and.. uh, well, sharks, imperial soldiers shooting at you, hangings, scorbut.. but that's all just peanuts comparing to the cowardly assasinations, exhausting training all day and night long, total obedience and forced discipline, and probably the growing paranoia ninjas must probably go through.

I choose ninjas because I love the kami and oni and all that kind of Japanese mythology, which was more or less in the ninjas years.

it depends on the type of ninja, and the pirate, They are pretty dang close, but i would lean more towards an assasin ninja because i love stealth and free running like stuff they do, pirates are just plain cool

Pirate because they have guns and no ninja can deflect guns.

Pirates can't shoot what they can't see. And it's asking which is cooler not which would win in a fight, that's Deadliest Warrior's job.

Can we just end this now? At least 90% of the people here said Ninjas, I don't think that's going to change by March.

In real life, weren't they just ninjas? All of them being assassins?

pirates are usually either drunk or high


More drunk then high, if you're talking about the stereotypical buccaneer.

Not true at all, Ninja's were originally peasants who rebelled against samurai for their treatment, only later did they evolve into assassins, were as they originally fought together in groups who ambushed. There are also many other kinds of Ninjas as well (Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles!!! No jk, but there seriously were)

Id choose ninjas because they are dark and cloak themselves, they go for easy kills.

Not necessarily, they go for the kill that benefits the most.

I vote for ninja because they are much faster and cooler but I do like pirates it's just that i don't love them as much as pirates.
