I started Karate but I'm very noobish in it, so far I like it. As you wanna take it up as a sport, you should go for something similar, it's all about fun. If you wanna be safe in confrontations, get friend mr pepper and train negotiations & diplomacy to 5.

As an open ended question, since most martial arts stress not fighting at all over figthting, I would ask what martial art would be best for starting fights with the people who so sorely deserve to have the living **** beat out of them?
Baseball was always a favorite in my family.

Whats best to start with? Some friends suggested Japonese Sword Art, Kendo or Iaido.
Whats your experience of these? 
Hey another scottish peep w00t, listen forget all the crap people have mentioned and join up with the Wado-Ryu Karate classes that are going on all the time at the Meadowbank stadium leisure centre. Its classes are taught by hamish adams, the boss of the SKF (scottish karate federation), and you will defo learn something hardcore out of it. Trust me id wtfpwn each of the 13k players we get on sunday all at once, its just that good 
I dont personally train there, am on the west coast, but i fight against them all in time in the nationals and there is some uber skills to gained if you give it some spirit.

Well it all depends, knowing Martial Arts (MA) only gives you that "little" dirty edge in defending oneself when needed. A real life example, when in a club, there could be a couple of drunkard guys who may try to do something to oneself. Under this situation, if you were really to defend yourself, these poor chaps may end up in the hospital or 6 ft. under because of some unnecessary lethal force where they were being stupid for one night out of their 30 years of their life. Besides, you will not feel good after realising what you have done. The skill in MA is to defend oneself by calling hits accurately by doing desired damage rather than undesired damage. To put it bluntly, it is about the skill of defeating a person without causing too much harm.
Now, another situation that some MA will teach you (but mainly learnt via years of training or by realisation) is that if you really need to use excessive force (quoting "... to sorely deserve to have the living **** beat out of them?"), MA allows you to naturally make use of dirty tricks such as clawing the offender's face right in between the nose and at the same time after that, exercising combo such as breaking walnuts when there is an opening for such action.
Well, this is just my 2 cents though 
I still prefer volleyball^^

The people ninjas are based on where just mercenaries who specialized in siege warfare. It would of involved alot of espionage and subterfuge and thats probably why so much mystique has built up around them.
I'd say what you should take depends on what you want it for. If you want self defence anything with lots of grappling and ground work is good and if you want it for leasure and exercise shouting hiya and breaking crap with your head is really fun.

The literal translation to Ninja means "Patient Person". It was probably the event of how an assassin was given the task of killing a lord back in feudal Japan. The funny or interesting part was, the assassin had to wait in a poo-hole for 3-5 days before he could kill his target because the lord was a security concious person. After spending much time in the poo-hole, the lord finally had to do his business eventually. Happily, the assassin thrusted his nice sharp katana into the lord from below and hence assassinated him. The legend of ninja became famous after that...

Want to learn a "martial art" or want to learn to fight?
If you want to learn a traditional martial art, then pick something that you enjoy, find fun and looks cool. Just don't expect for it to help you much when you actually get into a fight.
If you want to learn how to fight, then you can't go wrong with Muay Thai, Brazilian Jiu Jitsu and Wrestling to cover all combat phases (free movement, clinch and ground).
Preferably get yourself to a MMA (Mixed Martial Art's) Club that will give you the chance to spar with people of your own level, because it's the best way to get used to nasty stuff happening to you in a relatively controlled environment.

ive trained muay thai, brazillian jiu-jitsu and then onto jkd. i can tell you for sure self defense you just cant beat muay thai, and i feel its more fun than other martial arts. when you spar in karate its like playing tag and really doesnt prepare you for anything. in muay thai its considered a sport and you jsut get into a ring and have at it. wonderfull stress relief. also, the things that dont work get dicarded fairly quickly.
BJJ is also very usefull and is a bit more of a soft style. you wont go into work w/ black eyes and wake up sore every day and it is quiet effective.
the best imo is to mix muay thai, bjj and then a little trapping if you can. but that isnt very realistic.

Agree, however I wouldn't call BJJ a "soft" style, although there is no striking I've had alot of bruises, aches and pains after a session (don't you just love those neck cranks?).
I practiced JKD for a few years and although I still retain some of the trapping elements, unless your super quick you'll never pull them off in a real/mma fight.
Muay Thai for standup, BJJ for on the ground, preferably train mma for the striking aspect of the ground though as some positions in sporting BJJ leave you open to strikes.
