This thread is getting sidetracked.
We can debate the various pros and cons of Deng in particular as a leader, but he generally has a good reputation (even the website you linked says so) and the point is about leaders in their 70s and 80s in general rather than him in particular.
oh I thought you were punning.
Please don't be grumpy. It's a summertime Saturday.
If you believe in him so much how about you comment on his well documented crimes?
I didn't say I "believe in Deng so much". I wouldn't be the sort of person who goes around hero-worshipping politicians. What I said was he improved the lives of a billion-or-so people. You have provided no evidence that is untrue.
Is that all you have, judging a spelling error? Only a weak argument relies on pettiness..... Or do you have nothing to say?
You're coming across like one of those people who argues on the internet.
Explain how this would work? How would political positions be filled without being chosen one-by-one?
and that's exactly why laws / legal systems leave room for human judgement on a case-by-case basis.
I thought the writing was confusing and offensive and took shots at superheroes in general (Edna).
offensive to superheroes lol
Blunt tools shouldn't be used for complex real-world things. Other examples would be mandatory sentencing in courts (you should let the judge assess the particular situation), or things like "I don't go out with guys under 160cm" (you should get to know him).
Just because someone is in their 70s, doesn't mean they can't lead. Not with any certainty. In some cases it does, but the political process should have the flexibility to deal with each case.
Look at Deng: he was mid-70s to mid-80s when he was in power and he improved the lives of 10⁸ or 10⁹ people.
theoretically doesn’t fit on here,
According to what theory?

Good educators encourage exploration and give cognitive tools.
Mind is a fire to be lit not a box to be filled.
There was a political correctness fad in the mid 1990s, then it started up again in 2015 or so
American political discourse is designed to make my mind shrink.
Every part of this is gibberish.
And 'continents' are just arbitrary conventions. Where they begin/end can't be settled by anything objective. There are several models for delineating them.

A woman was effectively banished from the country for the crime of kissing of a boy in public in Co Louth in 1937
> In October 1937, a young man and a woman were seen kissing in public in Blackrock, Co Louth. For the local judge, District Justice Goff, it was an opportunity to apply a recently introduced piece of legislation.

> The law was strict but also open to interpretation: Every person who shall commit, at or near and in sight of any place along which the public habitually pass as of right or by permission, any act in such a way as to offend modesty or cause scandal or injure the morals of the community shall be guilty…
