Greece Recognizes Pedophilia, Exhibitionism, Kleptomania As Disabilities

ATHENS, Greece -- 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.

But NCDP leader Yiannis Vardakastanis, who is blind, warned the new list could create new difficulties for disabled Greeks who are already facing benefit cuts due to the country's financial crisis.

"What's happened is incomprehensible. I think there is some big mistake. The ministry should have a different policy on disability," Vardakastanis told the Associated Press. "The list contains major changes to disability quotients, which could effectively remove many people from access to benefits."

The new list gives pyromaniacs and pedophiles disability pay up to 35 percent, compared to 80 percent for heart transplant recipients.

"It's really not serious to grant Peeping Toms a 20-30 percent disability rate, and 10 percent to diabetics, who have insulin shots four or five times a day," said Vardakastanis.

Greece has been fighting to avoid bankruptcy since 2009. Public spending on health and welfare programs has been sharply cut under austerity measures imposed as a condition for receiving emergency loans from the International Monetary Fund and other countries using the euro currency.

Independently run welfare programs that survived on state grants have been the hardest hit, leaving some disabled groups, including the deaf, facing sudden drops in their standard of care.

The government is also battling widespread abuse in the welfare system, forcing tens of thousands of disabled people to be reassessed.

This must be a mistake.

Also, I find it offensive that fetishism is considered a disability. Fucking Greeks.

That's what the EU said when they saw Greece's budget.

I find it offensive that you seem to think that the compulsion to commit criminal acts is simply a "fetish".

You forget, Marti will always endorse kiddiefuckers as a legal class.

I don't see such an issue. Pedophiles can't help their desires. Its just unlike more savoury fetishes their quirk happens to be very harmful. Hence it is a disability.

Though Greece really should have more important things to be worrying about...

Except the one where a guy likes to decapitate a chick and jam their dick into the still-bubbling air hole, like a wet, wounded dolphin.

Criminal behavior /= disability.

I so didn't need that image!

I can't believe this.  Not least because it looks like Huff Post's just chosen words that originally come from Greek and listed them as new 'disabilities'

What about people who light shit on fire, or steal things?

Pyromania is in the topic title.
I have certainly heard of people who are compulsive stealers.
