pirates vs ninjas

I like pirates because the fiction I've read about them is pretty sexy. Ninjas are over-hyped but still awesome, I guess... cowboys are cute. >.< Vikings seem scary as all hell to me. I imagine a big fat 7 foot tall giant with that crazy headgear to psyche out his enemy and big, fat, hammy hands wielding torches with a braided beard, braided armpit hair, and braided pubes(because why not?). And that's just the man-stereotype! D: In the end... I think I'd settle with choosing a Navy guy. ;)

Ninjas can pretend to be pirates and no one would ever be able to tell. Pirates can pretend to be ninjas and fail miserably. *Disappears in smoke*

I guess I have to be the one that stands up for the pirates. I used to prefer ninjas but then I realized that I was born to be a pirate. I mean just look at that beard. Both pirates and ninjas have their perks. As a ninja you get to be a super deadly assassin and all the jazz that goes with that. But as a pirate you get to have wenches, mead, an awesome ship, a fucking amazing hat, and all the gold that you can plunder!! Arrrg!

OMG the life long debate, ok well if shaolin monks can take on pirates http://asianhistory.about.com/od/warsinasia/a/shaolinvpirates.htm, Then ninjas have the advantage for in my opinion are specialized in assassinations. so while its always cool to pillage and plunder... and always get the booty :P maple story community still thinks ninjas are better, whilst I think its neither... the real question should be Vikings or Samurai
