Guess_who9291 · 02-18-2006, 11:33 PM

What would you rather be? Yes i know this is corny, but ive been asked to prove Ninjas are better lol.

I held this same poll at my school surprisingly enough. Ninjas won. XD

AiRlocked · 02-18-2006, 11:41 PM

ninjas are cool but i much rather have a poll between the ninja and samuari. samuari kick ass

xiron · 02-18-2006, 11:49 PM

Josh, screw your ninjas. PIRATES FO LIFE. Yeah, but we had a big debate over this at school.

lexi used to have that happy unicorns poster, you know

Ninjas own seriously

--Lo--

Well pirates are typicly uneducated people that educated people put guns in their hands. They drink all the time and they wouldnt stand a chance against a stealthly ninja with a sickle. They would kill them before they knew they were going to be killed.

speaking of sickles, Chuck Norris once ate an entire ream of rice paper and shat out origami swans and Mister Miyagi from Karate Kid.

Can somebody tell me what exactly are the differences between ninja and samurai? They seem the same to me =\

locomotion · 02-19-2006, 12:09 AM

ninjas are more attent on what their doing instead of drunken pirates on a ship molesting kidnapped damsells. If ninja and pirate were to fight obviously ninja would win.

ninjas are all creepy and crap but samurai have honor and they dont wear masks... and they will totally kill you... wait, so will ninjas...i think

Torlock · 02-19-2006, 12:19 AM

Ninjas were assassins, basically honorless. Samurai were your average foot-soldier for their particular lord, unless they were ronin. That's a very basic definition though, you might want to look it up, it's quite interesting. Also, from what I've read, Ninjutsu was originally brought over from China, but I wouldn't swear by it. Samurai were Japanese.

Like Samurai X (Batusai) kills

AiRlocked · 02-19-2006, 12:23 AM

i know that but if you lost your honor, by failing in a battle or something of the sort, you had to kill yourself

interesting
your knowledge in ninjas and samurais has wowed me
i always thought samurais got revenge if someone killed a loved one

--Lo--

Torlock · 02-19-2006, 12:28 AM

Not necessarily, that was just generally what happened. O ccasionally your lord could also disown you, and that was another way a samurai could become ronin.

AiRlocked · 02-19-2006, 12:31 AM

the only way you could get revenge on somebody by killing them if you were ordered to or it happened durring war

Laharl · 02-19-2006, 11:54 AM

Ninjas relied on stealth and trickery. They didn't win by fighting hand-to-hand. Ninjas didn't fight with katanas. I'm sure they COULD, but they didn't because Katanas are large. They'd use the japanese equivalents to daggers and short swords (kunai and wakizashi, respectively). That'd be like pitting a guy with a dagger against a guy with a zweihander.

Also, on pirates. A lot of the pirates as we look at them were ex-navy, and England had the best Navy in the world at that time. We portray them as drunken louts, but a lot of that has to do with people writing negative stereotypes about them, sort of like the Catholic Church did with the Pagans oh so long ago. I guarantee that most pirates were pretty brutal and could fight very well, because their lifestyle needed that to be the case.

Basically, it's a really stupid arguement because we can't compare the two. Both were considered the bottom of bottom in their respective societies, the scum of the earth.

So basically, I'm going to go with ghost pirate, because they're cooler than robot ninjas.

OH, and because it's so relevant to this thread:

Ninjas > Pirate because Ninjas are just so cool. I've never seen a ninja I didn't like, and pirates are so eughgh.

Afrobean · 02-19-2006, 12:18 PM

This topic also came up in my school.

The general concensus was that a ninja could kill the pirate stealthily before the pirate would see it coming. However, if the ninja went head on, the pirate would probably win.
