Tekkaman Posted January 6, 2007 Share Posted January 6, 2007 [font=Palatino Linotype][size=2][color=black]Yes, you did read the thread title correctly; I am recreating the best debatable thread of 2006 for the new year, [b]Pirates or Ninjas[/b]. I don't want to bore you all with a(n) [biased] introduction, though, so i'll do Lava Lamp (The original creator of the last thread) a favor instead and re-use his intro.[/color][/size][/font] [QUOTE=Lava Lamp] I was wondering, if you could be a ninja or a pirate, which would you be and why? I'm not sure which I would want to be, because ninjas have skills, moves, and stealth, but pirates have swords, ships, and puffy shirts..... I'd like to know what you think, because this has baffled my brother and I for awhile (we have large disscussions about it all the time). And I'm sorry if there's a thread like this one, I looked, but I didn't find any.[/QUOTE] [font=Palatino Linotype][size=2][color=black]And now that that's out of the way, i'd like to present my evidence for why Ninjas are undoubtedly better than Pirates. I give you Example A:[/color][/size][/font] [center][url="http://www.askaninja.com/node/1175"][font=Palatino Linotype][size=2][color=black][b]Example A[/b][/color][/size][/font][/url][/center] [left][font=Palatino Linotype][size=2][color=black]Ninjas pwn.[/color][/size][/font][/left] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeadSeraphim Posted January 6, 2007 Share Posted January 6, 2007 [size=1][color=indigo][font=arial]Before any retards jump in spouting Naruto or Jack Sparrow, let's examine this more fully: * The Ninjas were a secretive, and dirty assassin's order, who very rarely liked being seen. They preferred to kill people without the targets knowing they were dying, they were not on the best of terms with Japan as a whole, and they were, basically, sneaky, back-stabbing mother****ers. * Pirates were very obvious in their intentions and actions, were also dirty as ****, but liked their victims to see their face before killing them. They lived a life of pillaging other ships for the vague goal of loot, were among the most hardened criminals of their time, and were constantly being hunted by the world's different governing bodies, so they could swing from the gallows. Right. Now we've got all your stupid romantic concepts out of the way, let's ask again: Be a cowardly, sneaky assassin who basically defies all concepts of Japanese honour and were despised as a result, or be a hated criminal who is seen as a savage by most on the mainland and lives a life of constant running from authorities, with the occasional scuffle and, eventually, death at sea or by hanging? Go on, choose. Really.[/font][/color][/size] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And last, killing in stealth with nobody realizing i was there sounds bad@$$, where can i pick up the orange jumpsuit? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
