Warriors of the North, that beat the living fuck out of the christians during the medieval times. Vikings are massive burly bearded men, usually armed wiht swords or axes, that like to drink, fight, and rape christian whores. Weak, modern men are a disgrace of utmost disgust, compared to the mighty vikings.

"Hail Thor!" roared the berzerker Viking as he raised his axe and swung down, chopping a christian's head clean in half, splattering brains all over his blade, arm and face.

The only people who, if you saw them on a twilight hill on the horizon, you would shit your pants and run in sheer terror! Vikings raid, raze, and knit in their spare time. No one has been able to oppose them for long; there are vikings among us-- do not cross us. They bring us cool words like: "beserk" which means "bear shirt", "hauberk" which means "steel shirt".

The Vikings just raided England and conquered Europe. They have bagpipes and know how to use them. Hail to the Vikings!


Vikings > Pirates.

Sorry, but you fail... miserably. Vikings are an overrated bunch of outdated warriors hellbent on stupid things like domination rather than what's really important... stealing Spanish gold and using wenches, and abiding by no government, not even your own.


whoa.

What if there are lots of ninjas? One for each pirate!

There'd be no way. They'd have to stow away on the ship after docking, and that won't happen as the pirates will be stocking the ship full of rum and food.

They don't have to do that. Ninjas can fly, motherfucker! Can pirates do that? I don't think so!

If I can dig up the news story, I will, but recently a bunch of pirates tried to take a cruise ship using grenade launchers and automatic rifles, but were turned away because the cruise ship used sonar on them, or some shit, and the pirates couldn't handle it. What wimps.

As for the wenches;
UrbanDictionary

Relatives of the norwegians. Some other countries (Danmark, Sweden) tried to make their own vikings. They failed. The norwegian vikings ruled Europe, scared the crap out of anyone else, drank "mjød" (bier), fucked "kjerringer" (big breasted norwegian women), had names like "Blood axe" and made "svenskevitser" (jokes) of the other scandinavians.

Some vikings still live in Norway today.

"Run for the hills! The vikings are coming"


Who needs prostitutes when your entire nation is populated by "kjerringer"?

And lastly, who needs Spanish gold when you have ALL the gold, from England to the Balkans?

Found the story.

USA Today


MIAMI — The crew of a luxury cruise ship used a sonic weapon that blasts earsplitting noise in a directed beam while being attacked by a gang of pirates off Africa this weekend, the cruise line said Monday.

The Seabourn Spirit had a Long Range Acoustic Device, or LRAD, installed as a part of its defense systems, said Bruce Good, a spokesman for Miami-based Seabourn Cruise Line. The Spirit was about 100 miles off Somalia when pirates fired rocket-propelled grenades and machine guns as they tried to get onboard.

The subsidiary of Carnival Corp. was investigating whether the weapon was successful in warding off the pirates, he said. The ship's captain also changed its course, shifted into high speed and headed out into the open sea to elude the pirates, who were in two small boats, he said. He had no further details.



Wow. Pirates are wimps. Which proves my point. Where are pirates now? In dignys getting scared off by loud sounds. Where are Vikings now? They've formed Metal bands.

There can be no arguement. Vikings > Pirates.

Earsplitting noise is not a loud sound, it's potentially deafening. I'm sure your vikings couldn't stand that.

Of course they could. After they finished rampaging across the Eastern hemisphere, they've created some of the most nitoriously loud and raunchy metal bands. They're now make deafening noises for a living.

Face it, j_ball, Pirates go to bed at night wishing they were Vikings,

vikings totally blow and so do pirates,vikings would have a chance against ninjas(ill get back to that in a bit), as for pirates, they were stupid drunk idiots,ninjas are the best.ninjas can sneak up on vikings and kill them. but obviously if it was one ninja against an army of vikings or pirates the pirates or vikings would win. ninjas arent dumb enough to take on and army, they would make an army of ninjas..then attack.so there if it came down to army on army, ninjas would kick ass because they would hide untill they and kill the enemy with surprise.

there ninjas own everything.
well except for me i pwn everything

If I could choose to drop my lifestyle I live now to live the life style of either a Pirate, Viking, Ninja, or Samurai, I would pick the Samurai. Secondly, I would pick the Pirate. I like both, but I personally like the Samurai lifestyle better.

You silly silly man. You can't sneak up on a Viking. Vikings are NEVER off guard. If they were, how would they conquer Europe? Vikings invented tactical manuevers like the flank. How do you sneak up on someone who invented sneaking up? You can't.

Ninjas specialize in hiding in the shadows and attacking at the best moment, but Vikings invented the ambush. How do you ambush someone who invented the ambush? You can't.

1v1, Ninja vs Viking, the Viking would win, because:
- Vikings are much, much manlier.
- Vikings have the superior horned-helm of protection.
- Vikings are well-trained in all forms off badassery and weaponry.
- Vikings have absolute control of the sea, and therefore have the advantage of being able to call in artilery strikes

What do ninjas have? Skintight black clothing.

Vikings > Pirates > Ninjas > Scientology > Paris Hilton

If you want to be an insomniac who does not have the technology to bathe himself without dying, then be my guest. Personally, I'd rather not be under a government and paying taxes to them. I don't give a damn if they conquered the fucking world... they still are under someone else's rule. Pirates? Nobody to control them but mother nature on the seven seas. That and a few overzealous English navy men.

You talk about Vikings plundering England and getting all the gold, but he's then financially responsible for himself and his family. Pirates do nothing but take that money and spend it on a few nights on land.

Vikings are barbarians. All they know is war. Not to mention that pirates aren't stupid when it comes to attacking a ship. They know how to broad-side ships and take them by surprise. They can't just attack them head-on. Especially not a navy vessel.

Only page 2 for me.


The trade off of world conquest and not being under a government is really up to personal taste. I'd rather be a Viking, but I see that j_ball has a different set of values.

There's really only one way to settle this:

1v1, Viking vs Pirate. Viking would win, because Battle Axes > Cutlasses.
Ship vs ship, Viking Longboat vs Pirate whatever, Vikings win since nobody in history has been able to best the Vikings in the sea.
Army vs Army, Viking vs Pirate. Vikings would win, because Pirates have no army.

3/3. Vikings > Pirates.


And just to add the icing on top of the cake, Vikings star in one of the most sucessful--and addictive--video games of all time. Has anyone ever heard of "The Lost Pirates" or "The Lost Ninjas"? No, because they aren't as cool as Vikings.

Fair enough. In hand-to-hand combat (Which Pirates are greatly romanticed for), Vikings would win. In ranged combat, I declare a tie since:

- Viking bows reload faster than pistols
- Pirate pistols (And pistols in general) tend to be innacurate.

j_ball430 wrote on Thu, 17 August 2006 12:36

That's working under the assumption that Vikings didn't use Cannons on their ships, which is wrong. Vikings are most famous during the pre-cannon middle-ages, but they've thrived even after the invention of the cannon.

Just because Pirates are too disorganized to form and army doesn't mean they're exempt from this test.

In any case, if you gathered an equal number of pirates and Vikings and had them go at it, the Vikings would win, because Pirates can't work together at all. To use a Renegade metaphor, Vikings are Team Players, where as Pirates are the n00bs who try the 1-man rushes.



The score stands at 2.5/3 In favor for the Vikings.

Everybody knows that Vikings vs. Pirates vs. Ninjas applies only to the classic stereotypes.
