Ninjas are just pirates of the land. Now, if only to figure out the land-to-sea ration for Earth...

Pirate fan here. Ninjas just seem overdone, anyone in a black leotard with a smokebomb is a ninja, its ridiculous.

By the way, although I do actually prefer pirates, I meant I was wrong in that I failed to distance myself from the whole, vastly overdone pirate/ninja dichotomy.

It's nearly as bad as Chuck Norris (don't get me started, and don't start yourself either. That shit stopped being funny even BEFORE it started)

Why the hell is it pirates and ninjas anyway? Why not gendarmes and cossacks? Or zulus and highwaymen? Or vikings and the KGB? Or anything else?

Because in all those there is a clearly defined winner (Cossacks, Zulus and the KGB), where in Pirates and Ninjas the dividing line is minute.

I would argue that while, yes, cossacks take gendarmes, no questions asked, highwaymen are more than badass enough to match the zulus as long as neither outnumbered the other, and there's no way that my mighty and noble ancestors would succumb to those damn ruskis!
