Okay, this is seriously off topic, but i'm trying to curious what you guys would answer...

Remember, this is a battle to end all battles between the two groups. so the best of the best of the best will be out there.

After placing your vote, i'd love to hear why.

:twisted: :twisted:

Ninjas, obviously!

The pirates have peg legs, eye patches, and way too much to drink. It's no contest!!! :lol:

Now return the favor and tell us why you posted something like this ;)

it was a debate/discussion some friends and i were having. I don't know where it started, but I'm just passing it along. makes for a good conversation if there isn't anything to talk about (as long as someone disagrees with someone else!)

The Pirate Versus Ninja conflict seems to be an ancient one. There are some websites dedicated to this powerful struggle.

I'm definitely gonna have to go with ninjas, pirates are kinda queer(unless they have lots of guns in which case theyd probably win).

I think of it as

The Pirates:
Big american cars in badly built

The Ninjas:
precisely built smaller cars but quite fast and very nicely built


see the relation...
is this what you meant in the first place? somehow

all pirates have lots of guns!! that's part of whats in their favor!! :shock:

And no, this has nothing to do w/ domestics vs. imports; it has nothing to do with cars at all. But i will give paf the prize of reading too much into a simple question. :lol:

The ninjas would win. Everyone knows that a good ninja can dodge bullets. Where do you think Keanu Reeves learned it. Actually, the pirates might win also. You can't really kill them. Remember One-Eyed Willy. I guess it is really an impossible question. Plus ninjas come from Asia. Japan more specifically but there were also Chinese ninjas and we all know how the Chinese can reproduce. So before the fights even halfway over there are two new generations of young ninjas. Whew, and I thought my Mathematical Proofs class was kind of hard.

No, the question is 2 midgets vs 1 homeless.

Or better yet terminator and robocop VS Batman and Predator

*do we need an off topic forum now?

Yes yes. I noticed this before. There is a need for a non-subaru forum and one that covers misc. stuff on the car. That way you don't have to search through ninja questions to look for info on say... a power antenna.

Ninjas are waaaaay too sneaky for pirates to handle. You always know where they are with their cannons and yelling and stuff.

I don't care how good the ninjas think they are, there's no way they can win a fight versus a bunch of pirates with sawed off shotguns and such...

I think people are thinking ninjas are these mysterious dudes like in the movies.....well they may kick ass, but there is a line between fact & fiction.

Plus....let's not forget we have a serious fundamental difference in turf. Pirates are on the sea and ninjas are more land lovers.

I gotta go with the pirates....just to be different.....plus........you just can't f!@k with a big cannon ball coming at you.

The real question should be, what if the ninjas & pirates were fighting and some Vikings came in. They were tough dudes.....rape, pillege and plunder your ass.......possibly.....litterially.

I have to go with the ninja's.they could just sneak on the pirate ship in port at night and kill all the pirates in thier sleep!couple of throwing stars and some blow darts to get the guards sneak on board and start cutting throats :twisted:

Yes, but the pirates, being on their ships, could sail out to sea late during the day so as not to leave themselves vulnerable to the ninjas nightly port-side attack!

hmmmmm

hmmm...good point,but the ninja are patient grass hopper.one day pirates drink to much of the rum ninja then KILL KILL KILL :twisted: or maybe sailing ninja sneak up on boat at sea.hmmm

Quiet sailboats at night + multiple flying poison darts & stars = mass pirate death - any fighting back.

Why are they fighting in the first place. Can't the Ninjas and Pirates get along?

-Brian

Arghhh!!! :lol:

No they can't.

A) ninjas don't have friends in the first place. They only have clans, and they only reason they have clans is to keep one another in the clan from killing each other.

B) A pirates only friend is the barkeep and his fellow pirates; who they'd gladly shank if it ment more bounty.

The pirates are -flat out- a more ruthless group.

Which is why I like the pirates. They seem to have more fun.
