Pirates vs Ninjas - Part I

I recently went to see Peter Pan at the Missoula Children's Theatre. Before the show there was a special reception where the Lost Boys and Peter Pan himself made an appearance prior to the arrival of the Pirates and Captain Hook. The actors came and sat with the guests and had many conversations. I decided this would be a great time to get a Pirates vs Ninjas debate started.

Pirate Pros
They live on a ship
Johnny Depp as Captain Sparrow
Rum
They carry swords
Gold and treasure
Pirates of the Caribbean ride at Disneyland
Cool hats


Pirate Cons
Scurvy
Lack of showers
Lack of manners


I'm going to go over Ninja stuff in my next post. Any pirate pros/cons I missed?
