Greek disability groups are angry about a government decision to expand a list of state-recognised disabilities to include pedophiles, exhibitionists and kleptomaniacs. The National Confederation of Disabled People (NCDP) calls the action "incomprehensible", and says pedophiles are now awarded higher government disability pay than diabetics needing insulin injections. The Labour 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.
I wish I had a clever joke. It's so tragic and disheartening you have to laugh at it. Nothing comes to mind.
