    <-- Indian ! :D (Native American)

    They are a beautiful people, physically, and many of the Nations had very advanced views on people of diverse orrientation. I would probably have been made the medicine man of my tribe. Not a bad seat to occupy!

    Pirate!

    1. Ninjas wear funny clothes

    2. Cowboys say "Yeehaw" and "Giddy up" etc. whereas pirates get cool words like "Keelhaul" and "Swashbucklin" and "Landlubber" etc.

    3. Pirates are loaded with 'treasure'

    4. Cowboys don't usually carry swords

    5. Pirates have freedom

    6. Only pirates have cabins with no dresses in them

    7. Pirates can choose whether to leave the earth or not

    8. Pirates excercised their creativity more (supposedly, but not more than the Indians)

    9. Jack Sparrow is supposedly part ape


    Haha, I was on a forum that once had a thread dedicated to proving that pirates were the best. I would only be the fun stereotype/Disney pirate though, because real ones were disease-ridden and sloppy, etc. (though I like some, Blackbeard, etc.) I like Cowboys though, and Indians would probably be my second choice, not really into ninjas (except the nun-chucks). :D

    As proof that ninja are inherently better than pirates, I present my reasoning case in point: pirate shirts (or should I say 'blouses'?).

    omg they are so spiffy them make me wanna cry. With their ruffles, and then some tight bottom things with knee high leather boots and a waistcoat. I would wear all of that, only making it look very feminine.

    How about this: A Ninja who's a Pirate?

    I'll go you one better!

    Can I be a Navaho Ninja Pirate who is smuggling horses back to my triad in Japan from the coast of California where my Cowboy buddies have their enclave?

    Definitely a cowboy – fresh air, the wide open spaces and honest work. Randolph Scott was awesome! He was a gentleman who could 'kick some butt' when it was necessary. And hey—if you're a cowboy, you can always pick out a nice cowgirl at the squaredance...

    i have to go with a pirate. ninjas have to hide in secret, never being known for who they are and what they do. The never make a name for themselves, but their ultimate goal is to train and become the best around, yet remain unseen or unknown by the rest of the world. Cowboys are stuck to their ranch or their cattle, or their town. They are tough, but they are also dull. Sure some of them ride from town to town playing cards and picking up hookers, but they really are stuck on the dusty land picking away for a living. Indians? Who picks being an indian?

    Pirates though, Aye! They be the ticket. You have your ship, your sails, your colors, your crew. The sea is your home. Sailing from port to port, the fresh air, the freedom, the excitement. If you want something, you and your crew take it. You aren't treated right, you can mutany. You can make a big name for yourself, or remain the simple deckhand if you choose. You learn about combat, building ships, firing cannons, wielding a scimitar, jumping into the ocean, riding the waves! in the end if you don't die you have scars to show off to all the chicks, stories to tell the kids, and lots of booty. Who wouldn't want that?

    You made that sound like a lot of fun. :p

    Many would be Indians, though.

    I would have to go with Indian actually.

    They can live off of the land. They can be stealthy. They can fight toe to toe without a problem. Don't have to worry about getting sunburn. :) They can give that stare that makes your blood freeze. Nobody, and I mean Nobody ever messes with an older Indian....except the U.S. government. lol

    Ninja.

    All three didn't live very long, but Ninja are the closest to the fictional representations of them. Plus, they're Japanese (which I like, although I'm not Japanese), and they're just plain badass.

    I would be an Indian. Why? Because door-to-door solicitors wouldn't know were to find me. See, INDIANS ARE NOT NATIVE AMERICANS. INDIANS LIVE IN INDIA! Most people are stuck in the days when Columbus thought he ended up in India. So if someone told someone, "Hey! Go sell to Witch Wyzwurd. He's an Indian." The seller would assume I'm on a reservation in America, but I'll be enjoying life on another continent. (Damn! I gave up my location).

    (I think it's necessary to mention that people who live in Mexico DO NOT SPEAK SPANISH! THEY SPEAK MEXICAN! There is a difference. There is a place called Spain you know, and it's on a different continent. But there again, most people live in the days when the Spaniards slaughtered many Mexicans.)

    While I agree with your first point, I find that you're becoming somewhat condescending in tone. Most people in Mexico do speak Spanish, even if there are some variants are specific to Mexico. Americans speak English despite England being way across the pond. You wouldn't say I live in the colonial era for saying that, would you?
