No one should be surprised that the Greek economy is tumbling headfirst down the toilet. It makes plenty of sense when you read this article: Furor in Greece over pedophilia as disability.
You read that right. The government in Greece has added pedophilia to its list of documented disabilities, meaning a pedophile is now eligible for disability benefits. Other “conditions” added include pyromania, exhibitionism, kleptomania and compulsive gambling.
This is beyond the pale. There is no legitimate reason for including these conditions as government-recognized disabilities. It degrades the programs that provide assistance for people with true disabilities, and marks those of us who might actually be in need and qualify as targets. Targets for mockery, targets for disrespect, targets for abuse.
This is going to be a short post, only because I cannot put into words the disgust and outrage I feel at this turn of events. Anyone who has any connection with a person with a disability, really, anyone who has any interest in human decency, needs to make it known that this type of behavior is NOT acceptable.
