No question got asked, so I'm picking up the fumbled ball:
What's you favourite Saturday morning activity?
Slightly modifying Poppydragon's skipped question:
Mountains, Oceans, Swamps, Forests or Plains?
Depends on what edition you're playing. I quit after they incorporated phasing. No question, see post above me. I couldn't let this one slide.
Nice catch, I stopped at 6th edition - had a nice red/black deck back then.

Actually, I'd like to point out that for the bulk of their existence, ninjas - or at least, the peasant farming communities from which they sprung - were actually fighting AGAINST the Japanese government. Combating corruption and oppression the only way poor isolated people could: with guerilla warfare and theatrics.

Okay, so they were freedom fighters -- even better.
Pirates are just thieves, rapists, and murderers. Nothing noble about that.
Freedom fighters? Won't argue an area I don't know well, so assuming the origin is true, the end result still sems to make the arguemaent that Star Wars Storm Trooper are ok because the Clone troopers started of on the side of the Republic. I think real life pirates are awful too, but that doesn't make ninjas good guys.
