    When I was a child
    I caught a fleeting glimpse
    Out of the corner of my eye.
    I turned to look but it was gone
    I cannot put my finger on it now
    The child is grown,
    The dream is gone.
    I have become comfortably numb...

    Chuck Norris never was, and will never be, the correct answer for any philosophical question now or anytime in the future.

    Actually, the correct answer is Jack Bower.

    Neither Jack Bauer or Chuck Norris are pirates or ninjas. The discussion of their respective awesomeness is beyond the scope of this philosophical question and thread.

    Maybe Jack Bower is a ninja pirate disguised as a college professor ?

    Neglecting Jack bower, Vin Diesel and Chuck Norris like effects, I think the pirates would win.

    They're actually one and the same. Bower was Bauer's alias while hiding from the Chinese for a year and a half. You'll note the rather clear similarities once the two pictures are posed next to each other.


    Note: I've seen Bauer fighting in black with a face cover so maybe he fits under the ninja category.

    Unfortunately, the ninjas would win. The pirates would only stand a chance if they pulled some stunt qwith canons hidden behind packing cases.

    However, if the question is, a group of ninjas and a group of pirates are in a bar, who gets the girls? then its the pirates every time. The ninjas would all huddle in a corner bitching to each other about who does the best onhi-momi-gomi like the big nerds they are.

    That's why its better to be a pirate. Fighting is OK but girls are better.

    The point of this post? Pirates are cooler than ninjas, but Jack Bauer is cooler than Pirates, yet Jack Bauer = Ninja? Now that, my friends, is a philosophical quandry for the ages
    Jack Bauer is NOT cooler than pirates. I refer you to his haircut. Never mind pirates, my postman has a cooler haircut than that. And has Jack Bauer ever climbed rigging with a cutlass in his teeth? I think not. And finally, Bauer is some sort of cop-spy thing isn't he, which makes him a civil servant. Whereas pirates are pirates.

    Pirates pwn Bauer.

    Agreed. Do one of them has to win? If this is a philosophical question then "winning" is subject to suspection as well as the outcome of the event between the sides.

    Yes, or if you would've asked "why are bananas curved?",then this conversation would be different too
