Its all about tactics. The samurai tended too pair of in battle and fight one on one with strict codes of hounor. Were as knights were brutal killing machines with no codes of conduct. Maybe knight would win because of better overall tactics.

Well, I don't really know what you're asking. The samurai code (called Bushido) describes what a samurai is. It rules his life. It governs his actions and reactions. A samurai IS Bushido, simple as that.

I think Asain women are so very beautiful, mostly Japanese. I love their little bodies and their long straight black hair. I think they all have beautiful eyes, noses and mouths. For some reason they all have cute giggles too. I wish I was Japanese!

After a great defeat, normally the victor would take the head of the leader.  His vassels, the samurai, sometimes would kill themselves, both as a show of loyalty, even unto death, and to purify themselves of the dishonor of failing their master.  \n\nThe key to the code of honor of the samurai can be summed up in the opening to "Bushido Shoshinshu", the "Code of the Samurai":  \n"One who is supposed to be a warrior considers it his formost concern to keep death in mind at all times, every day and every night, from the morning of New Year's Day through the night of New Year's Eve."\n\nnext sentence explains why:\n"As long as you keep death in mind at all times, you will also fulfill the ways of loyalty and familial duty."
