What are your thoughts on Greece expanding its disability program to pedophiles, kleptomaniacs, and exhibitionists?

The only one I have an issue with is exhibitionists.

Pedophiles and kleptomaniacs have a proven biological issue – their issues are (as I understand it) essentially chemical and not easily controllable.

I have never read any evidence that says that exhibitionism is a similar type of disease.

Three guesses as to what I think. No wonder they are going to single-handedly sink the Euro and fracture the EU

It is for medical assessment and not for benefit entitlement.

No matter what their reason was for including these individuals, it is not a good idea. The inclusion of these individuals will lessen the impact of people who have actual disabilities & this will create negative reactions when people say they are disabled.

Greece once again proves that the genius of ages gone by has died a natural death.

I agree with The National Confederation of Disabled People.

The no frills program put its frillies back on?

I have no issue with that. I do have issues with the Disability Groups who are just complaining because they fear they would get less money now.

I’m incapable of sympathy for those newly classified – or for the original victims on the list.

Wait… “I’m incapable of sympathy” ... that should be a disability classification, shouldn’t it? Well, shouldn’t it? Put me on the list!

When should I expect my first check? Can I get a lump sum payout?

Shouldn’t the exhibitionists be forced to show their disability?

If they do, it will be the perfect place for Berlusconi to retire.
