Actually ninjas were a mercenary group who trained in the art of stealth and assasination and were for hire to the various warlords in the region. Hardly the betterment of society. I think your confusing them with Samauri.
Yes, the betterment, they ended wars a helluva lot quicker then just flinging bodies at each other.
All that did was create a power vacuum that enabled more warlords to fight with each other.
Tyrant lords? Ninja's killed them.
That describes just about every ruler in that time. You claim ninjas killed them all?
Maybe they did, maybe they didn't. Can you prove otherwise?
Can you prove they did? We can go in circles here.
Rogue Samurai? Ninja'd.
Samurai would kill themselves before being dishonored by going rogue.
Not in all cases. Ever heard of Ronin? And Samurai would go rogue from time to time.
Samurai wouldn't hire ninja even for a "rogue samurai" or Ronin. They would leave them to their shame.
B!tch gave you a venereal disease? Dial 1-800-Ninja.
And you called some on my list a silly statement?
Hey, at least I only have one and it's actually funny.
Ok
Now pirates, on the other hand, were lawless rats
Some privateers were actually comissioned by the English government to use acts of piracy on their enemies
And privateers are better how?
They couldn't be a lawless rat if they answered to a specific government.
that attacked defenseless cargo ships,
Actually cargo ships ran heavily armed in those days.
Not all of them.
The defenseless ones ran with an escort, so they essential had some sort of defense.
gang-raped girls,
Speculation, not fact.
Don't give me that "speculation" crap. I know they did, you know they did, we all know they did.
Maybe, but it wasn't an every day occurance like your implying.
and ran like little c0ckraoches when Teh Law came sniffing.
Not much difference from a society that operated in secrecy and stealth.
Ninja's were long gone before the Authorities ever got there.
So they ran away before Teh Law came sniffing. I still fail to see a difference.
Ninjas > Pirates
Opinion, not fact.
Fact, not opinion.
Period.
