"Super-Aged" population a challenge for Hawaii

[Durian Fiend]

Methinks, no one over 65, at the time of being sworn in for office, should be qualified to be a political candidate..

Like I said, create an emeritus status for old advisers, but stop with the notion of politicians being viable into old age.. we don't let anyone else go on like that.. why should we our political leaders?

What on earth are you talking about? First, it was sterilizing a particular group of people; now you're hinting we should cull people of a certain age.

He meant an age limit for the job, not euthanasia beyond that point!  

I'm afraid that the demographic trend won't allow us to be so picky in most cases.  Commercial airline pilots age out at 65 and that's probably a good thing.  Can anyone think of other professions they would prefer not to see a geezer working in?

I know what he meant. I wasn't talking about euthanasia, either. One definition of cull is "something rejected especially as being inferior or worthless," e.g., https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/cull. Putting that together with wanting to sterilize a bunch of US citizens who have different views from him leaves one with the impression that he supports some very extreme beliefs. Do I have to mention again that he wants thieves hanged? Pilots having to retire at 65 is a complete red herring.  Reaching that age doesn't mean your mind breaks down; it's an arbitrary limit.

Pilots having to retire at 65 is not a red herring. Of course it's arbitrary, based on the typical physical and mental decline expected as a person ages.

Hawaii judges are required to retire by age 70, another arbitrary age limit.  IMO, politicians should also have that restriction.

As for his wish to sterilize a certain demographic,  I believe that falls under the category of "hyperbole".  Using this term emphasizes disgust with their actions.  
OTOH, it could be a actual fantasy of his.  If running for office, it's doubtful he'd include it in his campaign platform.
