    Chuck Norris
    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.

    I would just like to point out that in the deplorable Pirate Movie of 1982, there was, in fact, a fight between pirates and ninjas. Just so you know ...

    [edit]

    There's also a web site devoted to the debate ...

    I think the web site is devoted to the ninja vs pirate (internet) movie, which I found disappointing...

    Ninja's aren't warriors.. they're assasins. However, I still think they would win. Pirates are just a bunch of bandits.. crap weapons, no training, etc.

    Although I agree ninjas would win the fight, this sells pirates way short. You don't drink grog in every dockside tavern on the Spanish main, not to mention the South Seas, without learning a thing or two about fighting dirty.

    Also, I reckon ninjas would find the whole pirate-ninja culture clash hard to deal with. I BET a ninja would fall for the old "Hey- Isn't that your mother coming into the bar" trick (Ninja looks behind him, pirate kicks ninja in the pods).
