No, it has to be Ninjas.

In evidence, I offer Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest.

Difficult to argue with, no?

Hot damn. Remind me to have a heart attack in your city.

I take you mean:

"No, it has to be ninjas who suck."

At least that would fit with your "Dead Man's Chest" argument.

Oh, and it looks like team pirate is catching up!

"Girly ninja p0rn"?! Sounds like f***ing hentai.

You might want to reconsider that remark drewprops.

As long as there aren't tentacles, all is good.

Okay, as long as there aren't too *many* tentacles. Gotta have standards.

Hate to break the news, but i read in a history article that pirates actually didnt make anyone walk the plank, they just fed em to the sharks straight out.

Lets see pirate of ninja

Pirate: killer of innocent, assault women, pilage country sides....ok
Ninja:killer

not to say that ninjas didnt do other things, but ah well there are always a few bad eggs to bring everyone else down.

Plus ninjas have honour, pirates have none with their mutineering every ten seconds.
And now i am two cents poorer

We don't have "Talk Like A Ninja Day" as Ninjas know when to shut the hell up. ;

I'm not sure about this casting of Pirates as the downtrodded underdog in this. They're both pretty sweet.

But, to perform some feline/avian insertion:

What about Lumberjacks? Are they a valid "third way" here?

They're more actual guidelines y'know....

I vote Chuck Norris. Did you guys know he played a pivotal role in the blockbuster movie Dodgeball?
In response to seeing the movie, Steve Jobs was reported to have said "Simply Amazing ™". So how can you not vote for Chuck? The poll is scientifically flawed.

Voting here is the leaning other way (despite pictures which might sway the voting the other way)

Arrrr...

Of course, if we consider animal versions...

or

The Flying leg kick kitty is cool, but the pirate kitty still looks meaner...
(but wouldn't you if your owner dressed you like that and the other cats started mocking you?).

All those who believe in telekinesis, raise my hand.

One word: Naruto. There, are ninjas still better? Yeah, didn't think so. *Nobody* wants to be associated with that.

That kitty kicking pic is awesome, in the Eddie Izzard sense of the term. That's why I don't let Bulfinch near cats.

Wasn't Snake Eyes a ninja? Cuz he rocked.

I guess pirates and ninjas are part of the existential zeitgeist right now.
