a single ninja v a single pirate maybe a ninja win, but I would rather be a pirate. Drunk all day raping and pilageing vs running around in your pajamas- I pick pirate. Ninjas' are just hired thugs working for "the man". Pirates are their own bosses sticking it to "the man". Ninjas' hide who they are, but when a pirate walks into the roomhe gets mad respect, especialy the ladys. In fact Blackbread had a bitch in every town up and down the Atlantic. Ninjas come in packs of twos or threes but pirates travel by the boat load, and they use guns and cannons and shit like that, your whimpy katana is no match for a 12 pounder (type of cannon). And pirates get all the free software and music they want, ninjas pay full price. I could go on but this a much better argument than any of these gay assed ninja loving scally waggs have thought up so far. Oh yeah pirates exist today and real ninjas do not.
