"YARR" vs. "..."

Pirates or Ninjas? Old question, new way to decide.
I threw my hat (or should I say "hood") in with the Ninjas. A contraversial dicision, to be sure. The reason I listed:
"Ninjas are allowed to mingle in normal society because no one dare screw with them, whereas pirates are always chased out of town and forced to live on "Pirate Island" which is basically just a huge pile of other pirates that are too drunk or dead to move."
In addition to being true, this reason is very practical and not at all the only reason I could have given. You can also consider general mobility. A ninja crawls along ceilings and can fit through any space large enough to accommodate his head. In comparison, Pirates scamper around awkwardly due to bowleggedness (the scurvy). And, if Disney is any judge, apparently most pirates are afflicted with some sort of terrible curse which can completely ruin your enjoyment of apples or make mollusks grow out of your face.
Also, ninja swords are infinitely cooler.
And they can really wail on the electric guitar.
