Ninjas vs. Pirates

[Kirjath]

Order of the Stick has an opinion as well....

Don't get me wrong guys, I have a full ninja costume (even with the tabi boots and socks) I used for Halloween a few years back and then used parts of it to make a costume imitating Death from 'Six string samurai'.
(this movie is also the source for my tuxedo quote, which happens to be one of the single greatest lines in history)

However.. the point is.. Ninjas are awesome, Pirates are awesomer, Dwarves are untouchable.

[Archon]

However, the problem is that Ninjas didn't work on a system of honor, samurai did. Ninjas were, in essence, secret agents, spies, and assassins. In any of these professions, a philosophy of honor would get in the way. Therefore, I declare the Order of the Stick to be fraudulent, and not a factor in the debate.

If a ninja were in the situation where he was getting chased by a rabid-squirrel-dog-inbred mutant he would Kidnap a noble woman

I have nothing to add.

So what about ninja pirates? Is there some rule that ninjas cannot also be pirates (and yes I want a legal citation if there is one).  
Posted by: Mad Dr Jeffe Posted on: Today at 9:56am
yes Code of Federal Regulations CFR 26 120.10 a

That code section says nothing about pirates or ninja's. It deals with tax exclusions for qualified group legal services plans. If there is a rule it not going to be in chapter 26 because that is the tax code. Try finding it in chapter 18 of the US code annotated. That is were most of the rules regarding piracy are. If there is a US rule against pirates being ninja's it would be in there.

Also try looking to see if Blackbeard or Drake wrote down some rule that pirates can't be ninja's or maybe some ancient japanese law or text has it written down.

lol

Serves me right for winging it. I could have just walked over to the CFRs and really looked something up, but I didnt. What can I say, Im lazy.

[Fellfrosch]

And here I thought e's reference was pure gibberish.

[Mad Dr Jeffe]

this one isnt though

   * TITLE 33--NAVIGATION AND NAVIGABLE WATERS
         o CHAPTER 7--REGULATIONS FOR THE SUPPRESSION OF PIRACY
There is a secret provision to this law that says that Ninja can't be pirates. If they are, they lose all Ninja status and skills, plus any tax breaks they may have gained as Ninja.

[The Lost One]

That makes sense but I haven't verified it. Is there any caselaw on the subject?

[The Holy Saint, Grand High Poobah, Master of Monkeys, Ehlers]

You realize that natural laws, which are the real ones that forbid the crossing of a ninja and a pirate, don't go to court, right? YOu can contest gravity all you want, but in the end, you're still stuck on the mudball.

[FirstMateJack]

Yeah, trust me, the last thing you want is the gravity police showing up at your door!

[The Lost One]

I just did a google search for "ninja pirate" and apparently several people claim that there is such a thing as a ninja pirate. So is it really the laws of  nature that prevents ninja pirates?

By the way, if the gravity police ever shows up at my door, they better have a warrant.

[FirstMateJack]

They don't need warrants, and they scoff at people who think they do.

This is mostly due to the fact the gravity police, judge, jury and executioners are also known as the ground, or meteorites, an artillery barrage, black holes... crap like that.

[The Holy Saint, Grand High Poobah, Master of Monkeys, Ehlers]

Those people are liars.

Many people subscribe to the hollow earth theory too. that doesn't mean it's true.

[FirstMateJack]

I gotta go with E on this one.. I think they are just using buzz words that are popular and playing with lies in order to get people to their site.

...Unless they really do believe there are ninja pirates. Then I have to point out that there are people who believe that men never landed on the moon but, due to the fact that there is a mirror on the bright side that we use to shoot lasers at and calculate it's distance, claim that we did it with robots.

Belief has nothing to do with fact.
