Pirates. Mostly because its fun to have Pirate night parties where we all dress up like pirates and drink captain all night. Greek Gods are the best though. Nothin beats a good toga party.

well samurai's trump ninja's and a good pirate trumps both :lol:

Ya needta make it a real poll... I did... i'm on a hella slow connection out here, gimme some slack bro. :cheers:

Taters whore of an ex wife is crazier than all of em

I did... i'm on a hella slow connection out here, gimme some slack bro. :cheers: :cheers: Pirates are funny and it's fun to talk like one, but samurais are abosolute badass to the max.

Taters whore of an ex wife is crazier than all of em Yeah that too. The newbie doesn't know about the poll rule regarding that hussy...

okay, due to my n00bness I'm sorry that I wasn't aware I had to include Tater's Whore of an Ex-Wife.... I'd ask the story on that, but... given the title of "whore of an Ex-Wife" I don't think I need a play-by-play on it, it kinda sums it up for me.

sami's fo sho!!!

Yeah that too. The newbie doesn't know about the poll rule regarding that hussy... Yeah, we can let it slide this time

This poll is :gary:

This poll is :gary: so are you but we still like you :nee:

I am a Samurai. I hold that my courage, dignity, and honor will bring victory. I appreciate all forms of art and strive for a heart and mind at peace with the forces of nature. I practice to become one with my weapon (bike) and seek an honorable and brave death. http://www.twowheelforum.com/photopost/direct_data/532/medium/Samurai.jpg Ninja are but soul-less assassins, corrupt in their spirit, honoring nothing but the art of assassination. Pirates are not even in the same argument. Nothing but selfish, vile criminals, devoid of any redeeming quality...:leaving: Sorta like Taters' ex:idk:

This poll is :gary: Ya might think so, but what the hell, folks are voting so I musta done something right... Oh, what's that, you voted on the ghey poll? what what? ;) j/k bro

Pirates...

Pirates... Dont YOU mean butt pirates?

Pirate. Pistol trumps throwing star and sword. Like my Daddy used to say-Never bring a knife to a gun fight.:jacked:

Ninja's are the best cause they are quiet and trained in more than one martial arts style. Samuri's are trained with a sword, Pirates are dirty filthy seafairing dogs. Anyone ever watch ninja warrior on G4. That show is sweet.

Poll fixed.

Poll fixed. Still :gary:

Poll fixed. TY Sir for fixing my n00b mistake.

Ninja's are the best cause they are quiet and trained in more than one martial arts style. Samuri's are trained with a sword, Pirates are dirty filthy seafairing dogs. Anyone ever watch ninja warrior on G4. That show is sweet. I hate G4 they ruined a good thing (TechTV)

Still :gary: Nothing I can do about that.

I hate G4 they ruined a good thing (TechTV) I only watch the ninja warrior

ya know..... it just goes to show Pirates are better.... Have y'all heard of Talk Like A Pirate Day???? it's legit... Sept 19th every year... Ninja or Samurai don't have "Pwn Shat W/ Your Katana Day" just goes to show folks. that is all.

As i get older I find that words are mightier than the sword. And in this day and age, a good lawyer beats both :lol:

Ninja's! Can't shoot what you can't see or hear coming...

As i get older I find that words are mightier than the sword. But if you get hit with a cannon ball you are flucked.

Samurais pwn all.

Samurais pwn all. yea long as they stay on dry land :nee:

yea long as they stay on dry land :nee: that just happened.

Contrary to what movies say about Samurai, they were generally corrupt and interested primarily in keeping their jobs and earning a great deal of money (for the time) at the expense of the serfs/peasants/slaves/etc. They were warriors who served their respective lords in various battles between their clans or against others. Over time, they became a form of nobility and took up more artistic pastimes. But really, they were simply members of various lords' personal militaries. As usual, Hollywood has romanticized that which was dirty and crude in reality. All three groups lived corrupt, brutal lives; but at least Pirates got to see other parts of the world (assuming they survived their first voyage) so I'll vote for them.

pirates. drunk all the time, not hard to come across fights, lots of women(usually not willing though) and ships. cant forget the ships. oh and guns. guns beat knives and swords hands down. pirate see samurai in one direction, ninja in other, he shoot both. even if he is a wee bit too drunk to know the difference between the ninja and his first mate.

:motz: Why the hell weren't Vikings inclued with this poll:bslap: I would much rather be a Viking.

:motz: Why the hell weren't Vikings inclued with this poll:bslap: I would much rather be a Viking. The Norsemen are too good to be compared to those others.

:motz: Why the hell weren't Vikings inclued with this poll:bslap: I would much rather be a Viking. they were wiped out long ago :lol: These 3 still exist today in some form or another.:cheers:

I think that modern day ninjas and samurai might be just a watered down version. True alot of of students of Ninjutsu and Ken Do/ Iajutsu but not much work for assassins and hired swordsmen anymore. Modern pirates seem to be fairly close to the originals though...

they were wiped out long ago :lol: These 3 still exist today in some form or another.:cheers: So do the Norse.

So do the Norse. I actually think the Vikings had a much more profound impact on todays society and world than did the Ninja, Samurai, and Pirates put together

I actually think the Vikings had a much more profound impact on todays society and world than did the Ninja, Samurai, and Pirates put together they actually went out n settled places (if you can call it that) all over the world. The others didnt so much. The pirates did small settlements along the gulf coastlines

Well... after Pirates of the Caribbeans (?sp) I have to go with Ninja Pirates... they seem to be able to kick butt on the Sea and the Land... (kind of like the Seal Teams) Ok never mind.... :leaving: I'm way out there....:bslap:

I wouldn't call Port Royal, Key West, Barbados, San Juan, Havana, ect... small. Pirates shaped the entire landscaped from Venezuela over to Trinidad up to St Augustine. They waged wars for countries and captured entire cities. To say the Vikings or Ninjas had more profound influence on history is incorrect. Now the Samurai, they were pretty important in the shaping of there region.

Misinformed...Port Royal, Key West, Barbados, Cuba, San Juan were all ports established by European nations for colonization and trade. Pirates just pillaged them. Yes at one point they were employed by the Crown as privateers and soldiers/sailors of fortune but were not quite the stabilizing force for the region. No one mentioned Ninjas being a profound influence. Vikings on the other hand did alot of exploration, colonization, and formal trade in Europe. Samurai did alot for fuedal japan as a stabilizing force for the shogunate and the emperor. Once "nobilized" they filled the role just as the knights did in Western culture, but still much less far reaching impact on the world. Not being pissy, I'm just saying:leaving:

In 1562 Jean Ribault Pirate and explorer founded Port Royal, 1565 Pedro Menendez de Aviles pirate turned pirate hunter found Key west, shall I continue? Freshman year of college, my research paper for a writing class was on the "The Influence of the Caribbean Privateers"

I'd actually like to read that paper sometime Wheelie. :jacked: Pirates have their own smiley logo.

Freshman year of college, my research paper for a writing class was on the "The Influence of the Caribbean Privateers" Ah but who were they employed by whilst establishing said settlements? They weren't just pirating about but well financed by the European monarchies they represented. They only got wild hairs later on...

Some the best pirate stories were of women. Grace O'Malley was probley the best. She didn't actually do the Caribbean thing, but she owned husband. She was had just given birth to her 1st son and her ship was attcked by Spain, it think. he husband kinda froze under pressure, she comes up from just spitting out a kid and commands the ship and ens up sinking the Spanish sloop.

Ah but who were they employed by whilst establishing said settlements? They weren't just pirating about but well financed by the European monarchies they represented. They only got wild hairs later on... LOL:slol: so they are only Pirates when they are sinking & pludering but when they are exploring and settling they are well funded settling types... Double standard. To say that Morgan and the bigger names in the pirating industry were not well fininaced while pirating is false, Morgan's "Brig of War" Englands top ship @ the time...How do you think a poor pirate got ahold of that? Gift from the King of England, presented to him by Sir Thomas Modyford for seizing Santa Calinea from the spanish. Not only were Pirates explores, they were Generals and commanded large armies of men.

Gift from the King of England, presented to him by Sir Thomas Modyford for seizing Santa Calinea from the spanish. Not only were Pirates explores, they were Generals and commanded large armies of men. That is kinda my point. They were agents of other influences much the same way the Samurai carried out the Shoguns rule. Hence they are the instruments not the force of change. My thoughts were that the Vikings as explorers and traders carried on without outside influences, only their only village, clan, city's interests. True privateers. I see your point on how pirates were instrumental in the region. I was making a point for a global influence. Americas to the Far East and Europe. Both as raiders, and agents for cultural exchange. I still think they were MORE influencial...

yeah but think of the dialect.... vikings were of course the original pirates.... they started off with "BARRRRR!!!" and such, clear meaning to why they were commonly refered to as Barbarians (see the game Ceasar 2, you'll clearly notice the distinct characteristics of the vikings as barbarians... games don't lie, especially Ceasar 2). Then came the sophistication of the vikings, to what we commonly now refer to as the Carribean Pirate Time. This transformation to the warmer climate made them loose the longboats and those badass hats for eyepatches, parrots, and wooden legs. Not the best evolution I'd say, but hey, when in rome, right? This also changed their dialect.... "BARRRR!!" was soon transformed to "AAARRRRGGGG." one of the most common known pirate words to date. The rest, as they say, is history, ladies and gentlemen.

Pirates are up by 4... anyone else to vote?
