That’s it, I’m going to bring in Hillbillies. (posts 35 and down of Aeschines lived in Japan for eight years! ) They have pitchforks, and Ninja have little problem with arrows, but they are vulnerable to shotguns. (See Kill Bill, for more info.)
Then I will send LAWYERS!
Guns and Money?
Ninjas can turn invisible. Ninjas win.
I think the real question is whether a Piccard Ninja could beat a Kirk Pirate.
Mods, let’s move this over to Cafe Society and Great Debates both.
Pirates and ninjas both have swords.
Pirates and ninjas both wear cool costumes.
Pirates have cannons but ninjas do not.
Pirates sing, dance, and play the accordian but ninjas do not.
Pirates were known to enjoy rum and sodomy but ninjas were not.
Partly because of the sodomy, but mainly because of the cannons, I see the Pirates coming out on top every time.
Am I the only one who DIDN’T know about this? I’ve never heard of this shit before in my life. This is pretty damn funny.
Gotta disagree with Scumpup here.
Pirates: Smelly, poorly-dressed bums in rickety old boats, getting sick on scurvy.
Ninjas: Silent, invisible, well-dressed killers who go anywhere they want.
Pirates: Armed with big, loud cannons and big, unweily cutlasses.
Ninjas: Armed with poison darts, poison shruken, and the ability to kill someone by grabbing them in the right place.
Pirates: Live in rickety old boats.
Ninjas: Live in secret temples, secret caves, and secret dojos.
Pirates: Can barely read a treasure map.
Ninjas: Know ninja magic.
Ninjas, hands down. And if you say otherwise, I’m gonna wig out and chop your head off.

I must say, I find these ninjas to be quite the shady characters. Just what is their purpose, anyway? Are they even mammals?
Who would win in a Pirates vs. Ninjas fight?
C’mon, like anyone could ever know that!
No-no-no.
Piccard Pirate & Kirk Ninja.
Pirates can be bald, but ninjas must either have hair, or be in disguise. And a toupee is a disguise.

Those darn ninjas, they’re wacky!

All I know is that pirates throw better parties!
In the end, isn’t that what matters most?
Better yet: Monkey butler suit dancer ninjas!
Ninjas may play the shakuhachi (traditional Japanese bamboo flute) in their spare time, but they are also known for WAILING ON GUITARS! And wailing guitars beat a little wussmary accordion every time. If you ask me, there’s no contest, and that’s why ninjas have real ultimate power.
Yes, but what about the sodomy? What about the sodomy? AFAIK ninjas are not sodomy masters. The pirates have them at a clear, unequivocal disadvantage there. One that isn’t going to be surmounted by a few smoke bombs or shuriken, I might add.
Hack her to death with a kitchen knife.
I reckon that’s really impossible to know for certain, if we can take as evidence the fact that ninjas “can be in and out before anybody ever knows they were there.”
OW!
What was that?
