State Buys Car for Man With Fear of Busses

A Norwegian court has ruled that the government must buy a car for a man who fears riding a bus. The fear results from ridicule for being short in stature which was caused by medical treatments received as a child. Now he has bad memories of riding in a bus and anxiety at night. Therefore, it is the responsibility of the taxpayers of Norway to give him a car. So spoke the court.

If this guy has a hangup about his height, wouldn't it bother him at times other than when he was on a bus? Say, a movie theater, for example. Would the state buy him his own theater? What if he got claustrophobic in the car? Would the state then buy him a bus that was always empty?

I have real problems with the taxpayer having to pay because somebody just doesn't feel good.

Liberalism continues its relentless march towards deep-dish socialism in Scandinavia.
