Because I'd have sex with Deana Troi on the Holodeck and not a stinky pirate like Blackbeard.

Aliens have better weapons, while pirates fight with wimpy guns and swords.

Aliens are cooler because of one simple fact: space. Its just better in space; this does not rule out alien space pirates though, which would be uber cool.

Trick question. Everyone knows that aliens are really just space pirates. You can't fool me.

#8 is right.
The other reason they are cooler than pirates is simple: They taste better and melt smoother.
Pirates = Cheddar
Aliens = Velveeta

Aliens are cooler than pirates because aliens can bite the heads off of FBI agents, Pirates could barely get an earful.

Aliens are cooler than pirates simply because they don't have to deal with scurvy. Aliens have plenty of Vitamin C in their diets.

I could be wrong, but I don't recall seeing a larval pirate bursting out of a host's CHEST!

Knee-high boots went out with the cutlass.

I digress..look, the bottom line however is that aliens helped create the Pyramids at Giza, construct the massive statues on Easter Island, hid thirteen crystal skulls filled with unknown volumes of information and hid them on Earth for mankind to find when we're ready to, and left us thier only son, ALF, to carry on the lineage.

Pirates just stink like my dad on Friday night and again..there's that knee-high boot thing..*sigh*.

Aliens are more sturdy. They travel across the galaxy to wage war. The pirates travel across the ocean to pick on the natives. Aliens for the win plus once the aliens get here they have to battle Will Smith and Jeff Goldblum. Pirates don't have anyone have as cool/tough fighting them.

Aliens built the pyramids in Egypt, create crop circles all over the place and have Xenu as their Galactic dictator. All a pirate has ever accomplished is to plunder some booty and then bury it in the ground for some reason.

Hmm...Well, Aliens are smarter then Pirates, and by our fanboy geeky status, Much cooler. Example : An alien and a pirate are in a bar. The alien notices the pirate has a peg for a leg, a hook for a hand, and patch on his eye. The Alien says, "How did you get that peg for a leg?" The pirate replies, "Yar. A shark bit me leg off while i was out ta' sea." The alien asks, "How about the hook?" "Yaaaar, i was stealin' booty and another pirate chopped me hand clean off." Alien says, "Ok, and the patch?" The pirate says, "A mighty sea gull took a crap right in me eye." The alien replies, "You lost your eye because of a seagulls crap?" ......"Yaaaar...it was me first day with tha' hook."

Aliens are cooler than pirates, because aliens team up with ninjas to kill all the pirates. And everyone knows ninjas are the best of all.

Aliens are better than pirates because when you invite them over to your house, it's easier to mop up the slime trail than it is to buff out scuff marks from peg legs.

Aliens are cooler than pirates because intergalactic ray-gun has more syllables than cutlass or sword. Plus aliens have use of all their appendages. No peglegs/no hooks/no eyepatches. In the oxygen derpived area of space aliens don't even have to content with parrots so no shoulder poop. Aliens > Pirates, amirite?
