That's great news, the more money greece spends on arms purchases the more money it needs to take away from public programs...it's the quickest route to 'failed state' it can take...

BTW, just out of curiosity...I'm a traditional news 'gatherer', I have a look at the internet news sites, maybe get the weekend papers, (remember the paper variety?) radio and tv services...has FB replaced these?

Is this in response to parents abandoning their children ie scare the parents into keeping them?

Or could it be the Greek greed has no end - I'd imagine it would be hard to find the time to indulge in their 'disability' and hold down a full time job.

Greece recognizes Pedophilia as "Disability"

http://macedoniaonline.eu/content/view/20093/46/

Friday, 13 January 2012
For those wondering where the permutations of progressives’ infatuation with government-enforced moral relativism lead, Greece is a bellwether. Despite teetering on the brink of national insolvency, Greece’s Labor Ministry has decided to expand its list of state-recognized disability categories. The latest additions? Exhibitionism, kleptomania–and pedophilia.

Thousands of Greek pedophiles are now eligible to recieve state money, quit their job with the new law.

“What’s happened is incomprehensible. I think there is some big mistake. The ministry should have a different policy on disability,” said Yiannis Vardakastanis, leader of Greece’s National Confederation of Disabled People (NCDP). ”The list contains major changes to disability quotients, which could effectively remove many people from access to benefits.” The NDCP itself called the ruling “incomprehensible” and noted that pedophiles will now be awarded a greater level of disability payments than some people who receive organ transplants. ”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,” fumed Vardakastanis.

The Labor Ministry claimed that the new categories on the list–which also includes pyromaniacs, compulsive gamblers, fetishists and sadomasochists–were determined by a panel of medical experts, but that they did not necessarily signify benefit entitlements. ”No insured citizen has received any benefit under the new rates,” a statement released by the Ministry on Tuesday explained.

Yet the NCDP remains alarmed. They are in talks with Labour Minister Giorgos Koutroumanis to get the new code changed before it goes before the Greek parliament and is voted into law. Their primary concerns are two-fold: the new code could be used to undermine state benefits to current disability groups, many of whom rallied in December demanding job and benefit protection; and the new disability scale would work cumulatively “so a person gets 20 per cent for one thing, then more for something else–and when they reach 67%, they are entitled to benefits,” noted Vardakastanis, who is blind.
Is Greece the new land of opportunity? Pedophiles certainly think so.

With the cumulative benefit, it sounds like it means you can go rob someone, flash them and touch-up their kids, the more money you get. Is this the 'new' face of Greece. Wait a minute, what new 'face' - they're known thieves, they have no shame, and their history talks of older soldiers buggering you cadets and kids. I always thought Greek style meant one thing but now it means more - as long as the Germans keep paying.

What are you supposed to do, sit on the guy's lap?
How do you not get groped by the 'driver', or is that one of the 'Greek style' benefits one can experience on one's next holiday?
