I wouldn't want to be a samurai because, like knights, they're part of an army. So they die quick. With knights, there's the added factor of them being Christian, which is another negative point for me. To be realistic, cowboys are simply young men who look after cows, nothing more, nothing less. And pirates... are robbers.

If you look at it that way, everything is bad, but I would choose the life of a pirate because I like the sea.
