I love a good Haka before a rugby match but on the floor? Whatever was on that paper must have been really bad

Who doesn't enjoy a good Blue Swede song?

Seriously, what is the matter with those people? There is a time and place for things like that, and Parliament isn't it.

Ok, I'm apparently in the dark here. What is the significance of this? What is a Haka?

More proof that hakas are an embarrassment to mankind.

Imagine aliens observing Earth and WTFing when seeing that.

Seems like everyone's legislatures are more entertaining than ours.

Brawls, yelling, heckling, ceremonial dance fight challenges..,

But we have one snide comment and it is high drama of feigned indignation all around.

To be fair we used to have duels and cane beatings, tar and feathering etc...maybe we are too comfortable

Maori ritual chant/dance. Often done before battle, sporting events, even weddings, graduations, and funerals.

You mean like an A&M Yell Practice or a home football game?

Kinda the original point of that ritual. Scare the opposing battle party.

Can we also admit that it's not quite as impactful when a 125lb female does it, compared to the aforementioned rugby players? Or is that observation still a no-no?

Ok, but I don't know that "scared" was the response I got. More like extremely cringeworthy.

I think that's pretty cool actually.
Awesome tradition.
And I thought she nailed it.


Its over a "divisive" bill that's supposed to make things "more equal" for all new zealanders, that the Maori believe will be bad for them.

Could be a case of "When you are used to preferential treatment, equal treatment appears to be discriminatory" but i have no real knowledge of the issue.

The haka is a very significant ceremony to the Maori, it's not just for sports.

Just a little preview of the legislature sessions when women and BIPOCS reach a critical mass.

Absolutely stunning and beautiful!

When they finished their dance is usually when the English would shoot them all.

Maybe the dems could get Elizabeth Warren to wear an Indian feathered headdress and do a war dance on the Senate floor.

This. I love a good Haka...but seeing a bunch of out of shape geriatrics in parliament do it is kind of awkward.

This is what happens when your country adopts stupid virtue signaling like land acknowledgments etc.

The origin of that dance was to be scary and intimidating in battle. Now it's just a dumb dance to score woke victimhood points.

That said, I love to see it. Most leaders in gov and business in Australia/NZ are absolute tards totally consumed with bending the knee to the woke mob. They deserve the outcome they get and I hope the US let's China take them over generations down the road.

Alll those with common sense in rural areas are totally helpless because they gave up their freedom when they forfeited their gun rights.

Meh, typically I would agree, but the better analogy would be Native American tribesmen and women increasing their ranks in congress over the years and conducting their own rituals in protest. Maybe a few screams, maybe a few good ol fashioned scalpings. And given that Natives went 65% for Trump, I'm not sure I would hate to see that.

Maori were there for centuries before the white man. Can't say the same about the BIPOCS you mentioned.
