A ninja could catch five bullets, sharpen them and then sneak them into a pirates rectum when he's sleeping, so that when he shits he destroys his asshole without having to be there. The pirate wouldn't even know that it was a ninja that made his ass bleed.
Then the twenty stab wounds would only seem to be wounds, to a keen eye, one could see that as the sword was stabbing into his chest, he was moving to where they went between his arm and chest, and if recorded and replayed at .015th of the speed, one could see the ninja chuckle as this was happening because of the blade tickling him.
Ninjas don't use guns because they aren't precise and fast enough... a ninja would get bored killing you before the bullet reached the end of the barrel of his gun.
A ninja is a disgraced samurai while a pirate is a proud sailor of the seas whose main goal in life is to accumulate great wealth.
A ninja works for a wealthy or powerful person while a pirate is a lone wolf who works for no one but himself and works with a crew.
A ninja has ninjutsu and shuriken while a pirate has a gun.
Actually that is really the best reason ever: A ninja has hand-to-hand weapons and long range weapons that cause not so much damage and a pirate has a fucking gun! There's no more comparison after that! Pirates rule!
Dude! Pirates! Pirates are just as stealthy as ninjas, if not more since they ride in a big ship on the ocean and are still able to go undetected! PLUS they have kick ass swords and dress cooler too! And they basically did whatever they wanted whereas ninjas were typically samurais who had lost their honor.
I'm going to make a few points to settle this debate once and for all and prove that pirates are better than ninjas and I'm going to be realistic about this: FIRST OFF: Pirates and Piracy have been around ALOT longer than ninjas. Piracy originated in 13th Century B.C. in the Mediterranean and Aegean Seas. Ninjas came about in 14th Century A.D Japan. SECOND: Pirates were incredibly brutal, vicious killers. They weren't frequently drunk as depicted in pop culture. In fact, pirates were rarely able to get their hands on beverages such as rum due to their life at sea. Raids and Pillages idn't come often. THIRD: A ninja's skills are greatly exaggerated. That fast as lightning stuff or whatever is absolute bullshit. They're not super human, they don't have "powers" that regular people do not. LASTLY: Pirates are real. Let me explain. We know pirates exist. They're active at this very moment. A ninja is an ideal. They're almost a myth in a kind of a way. You don't ever here of ninja attacks in the news. There are no secret ninjas cults that aren't made of geeks living in their mothers' basements. The point is: The Ninja is extinct and Piracy is alive and well, END OF STORY!
Pirates and pirates only. I agree with TheHallow1. Ninjas are as dead as the Dinosaurs. Oh and ninja-supporters, don't even try the "Ninjas have their own show" bull shit. Ninja Warrior is only a show. Not a ninja cult.
I also agree with TheHallow1. Ninjas are gone. The only thing that's left of them are the name, exaggerated pop culture skills and the nerds that try to be like them. Have you ever noticed that? It's the nerds, trekkies, and geeks that support the ninjas. I speak for all pirate supporters here when I say, "HOIST THE COLOURS!"

"LASTLY: Pirates are real. Let me explain. We know pirates exist. They're active at this very moment."
I know that. My sister is in the US Navy and she had a few on her ship. She was out at sea fighting them from last October to May of this year.
That doesn't make them cooler though. Pirates are scumbags. >.> And this wasn't about legitimate ninjas and pirates. It's ABOUT the pop culture of the two.
You ever seen a pirate whup ass on a ninja? Hell no. Pirates are slow and drunk bastards. Ninjas sneak up and slit their throats in there sleep. Go ninjas!
The main argument for why a pirate would win is because pirates have guns. What people fail to realize is that you can't shoot what you can't see. A group of ninjas could easily sneak on a pirate ship and kill them all before anyone could realize that the ninjas were on board. The only chance a pirate would have is if they somehow knew the attack was coming.
Ninjas are also way cooler in my opinion. You might see a pirate having all the girls and fun, but when will you just plain SEE a ninja? Ninjas also rely on strategy and stealth. Pirates rely on brute force and blowing people up with cannons. That strategy doesn't take much effort to do, unlike the ninja way.
A. Ninjas get more kills They have to kill other people as missions Pirates just want loot. Which ninjas could take after killing the whole crew without the crew even knowing.
B. A ninja could become a pirate easily but a pirate wouldn't be able to become a ninja
C. Pirates are drunk so much they cant tell the difference between sober and drunk because they drink so much rum its the same.
D. Look how many points ninjas have compared to pirates.
E. Pirates have poorly made weapons that couldn't cut paper
F. Pirates eat and drink the same thing all day long. Rum and bread that you have to soften in your mouth for two hours before you can eat it.
G. Pirates live on old boats that could sink any moment even without a ninja sabotaging it.
H. One ninja could kill a whole crew of pirates.
Need i go on? Ninjas own Pirates no matter what. Pirates have nightmares of ninjas and whenever you hear a story of a pirate killing a ninja. That story was probably made by a drunk hallucinating pirate.
Ninja's don't need guns, they're physically and mentally adept enough so as to render their other skills (espionage, martial arts abilities, etc) much more effective then waving weapons all over the place. A (probably very unhealthy) pirate with a big sword or a (probably not particularly accurate) gun would be no match for a ninja with an awesome ability to sneak up on a target and excellent close-combat skills.
Ninja's are a thousand times better. They don't need guns, they can kill a dozen people easy before anyone even knows they are there. Where as Pirates would need a dozen people just to try and kill one guy, and even with a gun wouldn't be able to hit a ninja.
And to all those people saying Pirates get all the women, they have to be a pirate and rape women, or pay whores to get any. Ninja's on the other hand get women who adore them for who they are. Often times these women don't even know they're ninjas in the first place. Because Ninja's are respectable people, often times powerful business men. Where as Pirates are just drunken louts who occasionally live long enough to enjoy their treasure. If they haven't blown it on drinks and women first.
The only reason anyone likes Pirates is because of the "Pirates of the Caribbean" movies, but if you put two Ninja's on the Black Pearl, then that lousy third movie would have been about 20minutes long, 400 times better, all the main characters would be dead except for the chick who would run off with the Ninja, and it would have been worth the $9 I wasted on that piece of crap.
I have watched Pirates of the Caribbean which is funny but in reality they would be dead for being so dumb. Ninjas can just fight their way through anything being that they have stealth and wit while the pirate is drunk 3/4 of the time. People sometimes think that you can't compare with a ninja to a pirate because a pirate has a gun but a gun is not necessary for a ninja is fast and quickly kill the pirate in a blink of an eye. Another point of people's is that all the ninja do is kill by hiding in the shadows but actually it won't make a difference for they are faster and if the pirate knew who he/she was fighting against then he/she's last thought when they are defeated (which they would) is that he/she has been defeated by a ninja so dies with a unhappy thought while instead they are killed silently they would not suffer pain and they would not die knowing that they died losing to a ninja who the despise but dies a quick silent death.
It actually takes skill and dedication to be a BAMF like a ninja. Anybody can become a pirate. The only thing you need to know how to do is drink beer. :P
