Pirates vs. Ninjas

Yes, there is a debate. What I found even MORE amusing was that this article was tagged, and the ensuing discussion/debate, found here ...

specifically this... *snort*

Why is this article "Pirates vs Ninjas" instead of "Ninjas vs Pirates". For one thing, Ninja's a vastly superior to Pirates in almost every concivable way, and another "N" comes before "P" in the english alphabet. How was the title of this page chosen? Does anyone else have some input on this? (Animedude 08:22, 22 September 2006 (UTC)

The fact that Ninjas are "vastly superior to pirates" is irrelevant as far as Wikipedia goes (especially since pirates are better) but the general order is "Pirates vs Ninjas". If you were to type in "Pirates vs Ninjas" (with the quotes) into Google, you get about 140,000 hits. "Ninjas vs Pirates" gets about 25,200. Big difference there. Plus, the article was started at Pirates versus Ninjas, so all of the discussion on the article is here. If we were to move it to Ninjas versus Pirates, we would have to move all of the talk stuff, too, and it's really not worth the hassle. --authraw 20:24, 22 September 2006 (UTC)

Those are all valid reasons. I guess it doesnt really matter, since the Ninja's superioty over the pirates is so great, that allowing them to be spoken first wont matter much. Since, they will be dead in a mtter of seconds. (Animedude 06:47, 23 September 2006 (UTC))

You just have to wonder what the person who had to type all that stuff up for the wiki page was thinking

Well, the dude has a point: RUP!!!

Y'all need to check out the following cartoon. It is very appropriate to this topic.

Ninjas have no personality.
Better to die in style than to kill in anonymity.

A while ago, when looking through the new stories on Lit, I happened upon an Essay (in the Reviews & Essays section, of course) on this very topic.

Projection of force

The answer was provided by Commodore Perry and his Black Ships when the visited Japan in the 19th Century. To Japanese eyes he was the leader of a band of Barbarian Pirates, yet he had the power to destroy Japan's coastal cities and therefore the power to change the Japanese government's policy. No Ninja or group of ninjas could do that.

Pirates could project power across the world and could invade cities some distance from the sea because of their ability to strike anywhere within reach of a coast.

The Vikings were 'pirates'. The English when fighting the Spanish were 'pirates'. Julius Caesar, when young, was captured by 'pirates'. Piracy still exists around the Horn of Africa and in parts of SE Asia. Pirates have been around since man took to the sea. Ninjas were a minor cult in a short period of Japan's history and lost their power once Samuel Colt and his fellow armourers made the bullet easier to use than a ninja's weapons.

I beg to differ. I think this irrefutably proves the contrary:

Ruffley shirts and hats with feathers are cooler than basic black Pajamas.
