Greece begins the collapse -rules pedophilia, exhibitionism, and kleptomania disabilities
ATHENS, Greece (AP) - Greek disability groups expressed anger Monday at a government decision to expand a list of state-recognized disability categories to include pedophiles, exhibitionists and kleptomaniacs.

The National Confederation of Disabled People called the action "incomprehensible," and said pedophiles are now awarded a higher government disability pay than some people who have received organ transplants.

The Labor Ministry said categories added to the expanded list _ that also includes pyromaniacs, compulsive gamblers, fetishists and sadomasochists _ were included for purposes of medical assessment and used as a gauge for allocating financial assistance.
Sooo... things which cost society money and unity, are encouraged and protected to cost society more money and unity. I see nothing wrong with this plan to accelerate Greece into civil collapse and ruin!

#1  Something similar happened in Pennsylvania some years back. A politician named R. Budd Dwyer pulled a .357 Magnum out of a manila envelope in front of a room full of reporters and shot himself to death. It was pre-Internet era, and to this day I do not think the pictures ever got out.
