You do know that, never having met a pirate OR ninja in your life, you have no idea what you're talking about. If you take this thread seriously or personally, I pity you.

And to correct Rastus, pirates rarely use cannons simply on the fact that it's more efficient to simply will their opponents into submission with fear alone. That, and why would you want to damage your own spoils of war?

Also, you know what ninjas do? They work for the man! :D

Ninjas... Pfft, what, those guys that run around yelling funny things and attempting to chop people in half with their hands?

Ninjas get to burn matches underneath their fingernails.
Pirates get to drink their own urine. Which should I choose? :)

I agree, Jale.

DEATH TO COWBOYS AND MUMMIES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

And, after all, aren't we all really just computer geeks deep down inside, not pirates or ninjas. Seriously, give peace a chance! Even though ninjas rock :banana: *mwaha*.

Speak for yourself, Ive been offered a job on a barque-rigged tall ship. We invade ports, take their pizzas and fresh water and then sail off. We also take money off disabled people.

Try stopping a cannonball with your wakizashi. That'd be a good laugh.

Ninjas have a better chance to produce offspring who can turn into Anime artists.
Of course, when they grow up, they make animes about pirates:

Yeah, um...

I like ninjas. That's whom I voted for. But please don't bring Naruto into this. I mean, it's pretty good. But it would be excellent without Naruto. Or if Naruto was different. Or if he just didn't say friggin "Believe it!" all the friggin time.

So, if pirate supporters saw Naruto, they might use it as an argument against all Ninjadom. Really, I think the show should be Gara, or Kakashi.

And does anyone else notice how Naruto's possesion by the Nine-tail fox is hardly part of the show at all? It would be far more interesting if they played around with that more.

Anyway, ninjas pwn all!

naruto only says "believe it" in the english version he's much less anoying in the japanese, btw how many episodes have you seen of the 199 that have been released, it probobly would have been different if most of them werent fillers though episode 199 is suppost to be the last of the fillers, so the story should start to get more interestin agian :) hopefully

I prefer both depending on the mood I'm in.

Anime kicks, its just that you only see crap in the States.

I've seen my friends imports- theyre still emo.

I'm not saying I hate all anime- but you have to admit most of them, even the good ones, are emo.

Honestly, this conversation cannot continue in this general flow. I enjoyed this until it became an anime pirates and anime ninjas debate.

Pirates because your mother warned you about them.

Exactly. Then of course, any kind of thing we might want to talk about has been exploited and still is by the worldwide show industry. So where's my argument leading? This question is still unexploited. Would anyone want to discuss about this? If not, then let us be done with it.

I bet there were some overly campy early sixties movies called Pirates v.s. Ninjas made. A bit like one of my favourite bad movies Hercules, Samson & Ulysses from 1963.

uses the search function on IMDb

Tian ya guai ke yi zhen feng (1981)
Also Known As:
The Ninja Pirates (International: English title)
Country: Taiwan

I knew it. Nothing is holy anymore. :(
------------------------------------------------------------

To continue the argument; pirates are about freedom, but ninjas are all about secret identities, repression and sneaking around.

Let's be fair. Pirates are all about exploitation and money-making. Ninjas pretend to have some stupid code of honor that gets abolished in lame-ass anime flicks where the only way to tell the characters apart is if their hair is pink, black or blue.

It's national talk like a pirate day! (September 19th) Don't miss this opportunity to say "ARRrr!" to someone you know! (If you have yahoo mail, they have an entire front page on the pirates vs. ninjas fad.)
