Pirates vs Ninjas

[BNU-Judge]

Who would win in a fight Pirates or Ninjas?

no 3rd party members will be included such as Lumberjacks, Zombies, Vikings, Spartans, Robots, Samurai, Indians, or Cowboys.

Ninjas, duh. Do you seriously even need to make a poll about this?

[Rockman]

Yah, seriosly.  I mean pirates are fucking cool and I like them more, but a drunken pirate wouldn't probably die againts a ninja.

Pirates rack a disaprin! :evil:

I voted Pirates, cause I think they're better at knotting.

There's a number of things wrong with that...

A ninja could sneak up behind a pirate while he's tying knots and then it would be all over.

Ninjas are by definition better than pirates at tying knots - they're fucking ninjas!

Also, the word pirate is not a proper noun, so you can't capitalize it unless it begins a sentence or is part of a title.

I think he meant "Pirates" because the option itself is capitalized, he just didn't use the " ".

I vote ninjas, because despite the fact that pirates have guns, you won't be able to see a ninja at night, and their weapons are noiseless so a whole pirate ship that is filled with drunken illiterate rapists can get owned by one ninja.

On the coolness factor, though, I'd have to side with pirates. They steal gold, rape women, pillage towns, and they are experts at boats and stuff which is badass because in their time the oceans were the frontier that seperated the known world from the unknown. Ninjas have to go through too much strict training and have to adhere to a code and such. No fun, just badass.

ninjas ftw. unless your jack sparrow, smurf pirates

and yes rockman, pirates do rack a disaprin hahaha

[Scott]

Sorc: You + are => you're

Fanat: The option was capitalized because it stands alone; it's no reason to capitalize it when it's repeated later.

Samurai stick with the code, not ninja. Ninja aren't bound by Bushido, so they do everything pirates do, only in stealth. Plus, who said ninja didn't have guns? When they were alive they definitely used bow and arrow. Nowadays they probably use sniper rifles and silencers.

Camel, I think it'd still be reasonable to say 'I chose "Pirates" ' and having the name capitalized would be right.

DW, I think we were talking about quintessential ninjas, not real ones.

There is a porn film titled Pirates; if that's what you're talking about, then it's proper to capitalize it. There's no other situation where it's correct to capitalize the word, save the ones I mentioned earlier.

Let's say one of the options was "zimZumLOOP" and John said 'I choose "zimZumLOOP." ' Wouldn't it make sense to keep the capitalization?

It would make as little sense as that option does.

But fanat's the Chinese forum whore, so that makes us both Chinese.
