I'm sorry, I just have to know.

Once my father showed me a boat
We went fishing, it was a stormy night
He let me steer it for a while, once the waves arose
I was stunned by the might
Of the sea, and the wrath of the wind

So later I thought
Oh, the time before was just so beautiful
You know, romantic...
Heroes and crooks
pretty women and captains and hooks

Basically every night they'd fight with swords
Shoot with cannons and take over boats
And raid harbours, capture the kings daughters
that's the life my man.

I'd give everything I have to be a pirate.

But ever since I first saw a green ninja turtle
I've been admiring their skills
To be able to walk in the night
Without being seen

Or to be able to hide in the shadows
Of daylight, and throw stars to the throats of enemies
To move silently on rooftops
like cats, and carry mighty swords

To be run by a secret code
to be part of something mystical
and yet so serious
to be a fierce fighter, without anyone knowing

I'd give everything I have to be a ninja.

Pirates are the best. By far. It's no opinion, it's just a fact.
 
I have this debate a lot.

no I don't know, I think quality of life goes to the ninja..  would you really want to break your back every day on an old ship for weeks on end at the beck and call of some swarthy lunatics?   ..well OK maybe you would, but I still prefer the thought of living quietly in rural Japan   Wink Ying%20Yang

Ninjas are clearly the best. Pirates suck.

Spending most of my life among stinky guys, eating rotten food, drinking hot rum and no women for long seasons?

Not the life for me.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers fan since 1976.  We have a Gasparilla street festival every year.. so I've been conditioned to be a pirate, har har har.

Oh, and if I may... introduce PIRATE METAL!

That's exactly the point. I wanna be a freaky, crazy hoppin, slicin, beast of a ninja. I'll conquer you before you can even open your only remaining eye, which is glued shut with excess dried fluid from your most recent drunken bout

Movies about Ninja tend to be more unintentionally comedic than movies about pirates, so... yeah.

Approaches the unreal

In touch with some reality

^ hahaha, yes
anyway, never got the appeal of ninja's, pirates were cool untill Disney got a hold of them (well, I suppose they were ok in the old Disney ride till they made them politically correct), Swashbuckler seem to be somewhat of a homosexual term LOL, evel knievel was ok but nobody messes with the major cartoon of my youth.  Consider me a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle I guess.
 
Shame pirates aren't remembered as the bloodthirsty, uncouth, predators they were (and still are, i suppose) in the same way it's a shame vampires have become as wussy and emo as they have.  Damn you hollywood!
