Wet Lettuce Pirates x 100,000. There is so much history, long gone and present, ranging from huge Chinese junks to contemporary american pirates. French, Spanish, all truly powerful nations have had pirates rule the seas from time to time (even if "pirates" were chartered by their country) I like how you put the most imfamous example under "all truely powerfull Nations" and sited the shitter ones directly XD Wet Lettuce National (US) talk like a pirate day is sept 18th , spread it on to europe! I'll write it on my Calender... XD

Francis Drake? Sir Henry Morgan? Captain Kidd? in the 1520's nomatter how much gold england plundered, spain was still raking in gold and jewels of the aztecs... --- Later on? John Rackam (Calico Jack)? Captain Vane? Mary Read? Anne Bonny? All died, and Calico jack, in my opinion, did too much mutiny on board his ships before captain to have done much good... Still later, you have the blatant idiocy of Sam Bellamy... shipwrecked himself because he went too fast off of cape cod. Vane crashed himself, Dangerfield shipwrecked... The main reason, in my opinion , that england's pirates are best known is because they just were the most active on tongues... be it through success, stupidity, death, or maritime problems in chartering pirates by the throne against spanish ships,etc... They got caught in the most famous era, the end of the era of pirates.... Ok Im MUCH over egaterating solely because i was trying to prove a point, the british were, i agree by far the MOST popular, the most active, the most successful, but they weren't the only pirates out there... England was NOT all-powerful, spanish raids on gold-ports in the 1700s proved that...

The way our Warships were designed compared to theirs should be elegant enough proof of Biritan's Experience at Sea. Which pirate did the Spanish have to counter Sir Francis Drake, anyhow? (I... erm.... don't know that much about these Periods - I'm a Physicist, not a Historian sweatdrop )

Ninjas are cooler, they have awesome powers - I've seen it in Naruto and films such as 'Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon' and 'Hero'.
I'd rather be a ninja than a pirate. 3nodding

I'd rather be a ninja than a pirate. 3nodding But it takes so much more effort to be a ninja, yes Crouching Tigger etc. are wonderful films but it looks like so much energy and there are so many rules and stuff... I'm lazyXD
