If you pit a ninja against a pirate 1 on 1 the pirate would win unless he missed with his pistol(s). Then it would come down to swordsmanship, which could go either way (no, the ninja does not win instantly because of his ninja weapons).
That doesn't stop either from being obsolete and outdated symbols from a bygone era. They're like lightsabers, but without updated functionality.
A more interesting comparison to examine, historically, would be a samurai and a knight, who served similar functions and fought in real warfare, rather than attacking helpless merchant ships (pussy move, pirate) or killing someone while they slept (another pussy move, ninja).

This is a good argument if you put a pirate in a ninja habitat the ninja will win and if
you put a ninja in a pirate habitat the ninja will lose. So it goes both ways...........Ninjas own pirates

thats a dumb point. you lose two points of cool.
Fact of the matter isnt who would win in a fight, that varies far too much. in the end it comes down to Opinion on which you think is cooler. and since you can Classify Vikings as pirates Pirates win.

It would be a draw, as the live action roleplayers involved in the fight would be called home for dinner by their mothers before they could finish.

I just don't understand the fuss about who was more "badass" between two groups of people that, by definition, lived cowardly lives.
You know who was manlier? Anybody that fought against them.
EDIT: Cowardly is maybe not the best choice of words. But by definition both groups avoided direct confrontation and even odds. So they were smart, maybe, but not brave.

I need a quote superior to this before I cease blaming ninjas for being a band of milquetoast lackeys with no soul of their own. |

Pirates = Sailors, brigands, etc etc
Ninja = former Kabuki workers fed up with not getting paid.
