We don’t know how many of those were in operational condition though.

Buddy, that stuff falls out of the sky. It may be more scarce in the future, but we’re not going to run out.

Lol.

Actually, I don’t think one of the Maori party MPs throwing hands is particularly far fetched.

You seem very uninformed about the history of the Haka.

There are many different ones, but the most common one, Ka Mate, is usually performed by sports teams before a game, and is meant to be intimidating.

They were historically performed by a tribe’s mightiest warriors when other chiefs came to visit, as one example. They’re often a war dance, a show of power.

The audience is supposed to be intimidated

You seem to have a very simplistic view of the world, and don’t seem to be willing to take other points of view on board, so I don’t see much point engaging with you any further.

You’ll have to ask David Seymour that question.

The Maori party favour theatrics over results, and always have. One of the most notable examples, there was a motion in the house to change the dress code, which the speaker asked if anyone wanted to second. Nobody did.

The next day, one of their MPs was ejected from the house for not wearing a tie.

The bill was never going to pass, the other two parties in the coalition had made it very clear they would support the bill to its first reading and no further, and only agreed to support it that far because they couldn’t have formed a government otherwise.

This didn’t really change anything.

They did this right before Parliament was set to vote, and managed to disrupt and delay said vote.

So yes, it was pretty bad.

It took them four years to get the hint, but they got there in the end.

There’s no way the US military would side with Russia, even if ordered to.

You’re right, and this is why Russia cannot be allowed to win in Ukraine.

I’d like to see a source for that, because that definitely sounds like nonsense.

Often, yes. But the TAZER didn’t directly kill her, which is a subtle difference, but worth pointing out.

I definitely wouldn’t put money on 50/50.

Also, it was falling that hurt her, not the actual shock.

Easy for you to say.

The whole point of a TAZER is it incapacitates without killing, are you seriously suggesting this was intentional?

Remember, it wasn’t the shock that killed her, it was the subsequent fall.

Given that the whole point of a device like that is they incapacitate without doing permanent harm, that sounds entirely reasonable at first glance.

You could just call them scum then.
