Why ninjas are cooler than pirates

Chuck Norris hangs with Ninjas, not pirates. There's nothing quite like watching two pirates going on and on and on and on and on and on about how fearsome they are at sea Sorry dude but a bowsprit doesn't turn the rudder and the big square sail ships don't have spinnakers. Okay, I think I can put this to rest If a ninja loses an appendage, it's suicide for them.

If a pirate gets an arm cut off, he replaces it with something awesome, like a metal hook or a gun. Who's the winner there?

ScottM , Oct 2, Troy Martin is launching a Ninja school. Ninjas never have their manhood questioned. Troy Martin is starting a pirate school but he got lost and somehow found himself starting a ninja school. There are Ninja motorcycles. There are no pirate motorcycles. Pirates allow parrots to poop on their shoulders.

I'm not sure what language that is, but it's certainly not English. Ninjas do indeed have some pretty cool weapons, but Pirates have better ones. While ninjas are carrying over nine thousand weapons, Pirates only need to keep 2 on their person: a pistol and a cutlass.

Keep in mind, too, that pirates have a ship's cannons as weapons as well. I'm fairly certain a pistol is superior to the ninja's long range weapons. And when it comes to short range weapons, the pirate's sword has a handguard, whereas the ninja's sword does not.

I'd prefer my hand not to get cut off during battle, thanks. Re: 3: When someone thinks of a ninja being cool, they think of a shadow-lurker who kills his victims without them even knowing he existed, not some social engineer befriending enemies.

You distance yourself from the stereotyped view of ninjas at your own peril. Even so, ninjas talk like normal people. Pirates sound cool enough that they have their own talk-like-a-pirate-day [sept 19th]. Re: 4: A shame, isn't it, that ye whole audience be from that very same country, the one that hates ninja movies. So you concede, then, that at least the American public prefers Pirates to ninjas.

And that's what really determines which is 'cooler,' what people think of them. Re: 5: Once again, you distance yourself from the entire ninja fan club. Without wearing black and hiding amongst the shadows, a ninja is pretty lame. The pop culture depiction of a ninja is much cooler than the normally-clothed social engineer ninja. That's not even a little cool. Re: 6: Ninjas may be cold, calculating killers, but pirates are bad ss enough to fight their enemies with no preparation.

A ninja's battle is boring. That's no fun at all. A pirate's battle is an intense struggle. It's fun to watch, and is an admirable trait of a pirate. Re: 7: I'm not even going to respond to that point, just because of how dumb it was. Crafting a scenario fit perfectly for a ninja is no fair comparison.

Re: 8: Now my opponent is attempting to capitalize on your homophobia by claiming that pirates had homosexual relations with each other. Do not allow this ridiculous tactic to sway your mind. Re: 9: My opponent says pirates are drunkards. Report this Comment. Posted by HadenQuinlan 13 years ago.

This debate either has an Elo score requirement or is to be voted on by a select panel of judges. Pro First, some ground rules for the debate: 1. No lame defining of terms, unless something has multiple meanings which are drastically different, and a definition is required.

Semantic arguments are lame, and everything will be done using the vernacular. This will be an equal burden debate, meaning that my opponent will have an equal burden to myself. Since I must prove why pirates are cooler than ninjas, he must prove why ninjas are cooler than pirates, not that the two are equally cool.

Now, for my contentions: 1. Pirates have treasure. Ninjas are broke. Pirates have really awesome ships with cannons and stuff.

You can't beat that. Pirates have guns. Ninjas have shurikens. A gun is much more reliable. Pirates get to have sex with loose women at every port. When they're at sea, pirates get to have awesome gay sex with their shipmates. Who doesn't love hot sweaty pirate gay sex?

Pirates have big crews to back them up in a fight. Ninjas, for the most part, are alone. Pirate captains get to command people around. Ninjas have no underlings. I have equal respect for and fear of both, though.

Pirates show up in large numbers, slowly creeping up to your boat from their often-bigger boat. Death-by-pirate would likely be much more painful and slow. Plus, just think about it from the viewpoint of a normal, upstanding citizen.

Hands down, no contest.
