Ninjas are superior to spartans

right! first of all thank you for accepting the debate! i affirm the resolution 'ninjas are superior to spartans' for clarification i will offer the following definition: superior as defined by wordnetweb.princeton.edu/perl/webwn, is: of high or superior quality or performance. my value for this debate will be effectiveness. ninjas are warriors of stealth, and can destroy their targets with minimal casualty on their side. my value criterion will be stealth. ninjas can kill their targets with stealth, which allows them to get away swiftly and kill their targets with only a few ninjas and suffer minimal or no casualty. with Spartans, the only way they can fight is in open warfare, and the Spartans cannot be hired by anyone to kill people or to kill anyone because either of them can lead to war on Sparta. Contention 1: ninjas are fundamentally better than spartans. In a Spartan's military training, boys and girls are sent to a military training camp at the age of seven where they are forced to steal things and not be discovered while enduring military training. the ninjas, on the other hand, have a variety of training techniques; Aside from the expected martial art disciplines and techniques, a youth studied survival and scouting techniques, as well as information regarding poisons and explosives. they also have a wide knowledge of curing herbs, which would allow them to cure themselves when doctors are not at hand. the ninjas not only endure physical hardships, but they also have mental techniques i.e. the ninjutsu, which helps them endure many more hardship become better warriors. Contention 2: the weapons of ninjas are better than that of spartans. ninjas have a variety of weapons that include ninjas stars (shurikens), ninja knives (kuni), poison, bombs, and blowguns. spartans only have spears and swords as weapons and shields for protection. my opponent may argue that ninjas have nothing to protect themselves, but ninjas do not reveal themselves to the enemy; and by the time the enemy realizes there ninjas present, the ninjas will have either retreated, killed the enemies still alive, or shifted to a new location; ninjas' techniques focus on stealth, not the haphazard hack and slash used by spartans. aside from that, the weapon of ninjas are also better than that of spartans: the projectiles weapons such as ninja stars and blowguns allow ninjas to kill their enemies at a distance, and as the weapons are relatively small, many of the projectiles can be carried by ninjas easily. a spartan have only spears, which are large and inefficient, as projectile weapons; spartans can only carry one too two spears due to their long shape and their large volume in comparison to small projectiles used by ninjas. in a battle, spartans can throw their weapons once or twice because they will likely to only have one or two spears, whereas ninjas can throw numerous stars that can be a great deal more deadly than spears due to the fact that they can be coated with deadly poison. contention 3: the ninjas are more efficient in killing their targets. the subtle way of ninjas allow them to kill their enemies without casualty on their side. for example, if a ninja clan was paid to eliminate a entire fortress that's well guarded for war, then the ninjas have many options such as: 1. infiltrate the fortress with stealth (the fortress is only guarded against armies in warfare) and poison the food supply. 2. female ninjas (kunoichi) can infiltrate the fortress in disguise as entertainers for feasts and kill the inhabitans after they are drunk and asleep. these tactics are both useful and have minimal too no casualty; whereas, a spartan will have to march to the fortress, give away their element of suprise because they are moving as an army, and then fight head on with the well-guarded fortress. this tactic requires many solders and causes heavy casualty among the spartans. these things prove that the ninjas are superior to spartans because they are effective, easy to hire, can kill without heavy casualty on their side, can heal themselves when injured, and have a variety of weapons at their disposal. so i urge the audience to please vote for pro. please leave a comment when you vote, i would appreciate pointers and areas to improve. i eagerly await my opponent's reply.
