samurai & Ninja's. Are they the same?

[Soul*Assassin]

Right, i was playing on soul calibur II last night as mitsurugi and it just came to me, are samurai's the same as ninjas or are they completely different? I came to the conclusion that they are different cuz' ninjas are more stealth and samurai are ummm....not.
Anyway, what do you guys and gals think?

[James]

I think you and idiot moron-fagmos are the same.

Dude, I just now realized the cool parallel between ninja and samurai of the 18th century to the Hashishens and the Templars of the 13th century.

Oh, and ditto on this question being so remarkably stupid that rage ensues.

I will tell you the difference just because I did a report on this for my class like some 3 years ago.

Samurai followed a code of honor. Called Bushido.

Ninja never followed a code. They would do anything to finish there misson.

There are other differences, I would tell you them but i would rather shoot my ass off.

Ninja was the name for a class of untouchables. Not asskickers. Or something. Whatever. Go watch Rurouni Kenshin. For samurais.

Not ninjas.

Mind you.
