Asylum seekers SUE Germany for not paying them benefits FAST ENOUGH

I don't know the full background of this.

1) Maybe they have been without food, water or bathroom facilities during the process, though I doubt it.
2) The police 'harrased them', when they were just following protocols and enforcing the laws of Germany.
3) The people 'discriminated against them' because they were refugees. Yeah, not seeing that - especially given the greeting they got.
4) Germany is 'corrupt' and/or the officials conspired to slow down the application. Considering the work load of applications, I doubt that too.

So that just leaves it exceeding the time frame for processing an application, and hounding over-worked and rushed staff processing applications as 'evil masterminds'.

Still not seeing the ' injustice ' here. I could wait for more than a week if it meant being taken into a peaceful community free from war and violence, and not bite the hand that feeds me.

The responsible approach is to flee for your life when necessary.

We don't know anything about these people at all other than that they fled their country and have landed in Germany and have no shelter...so the only one assuming here is you.
As for showing mercy, is there some reason or circumstance when it should not be shown.

You admit to not knowing anything about these people and then claim I am the only one making assumptions.

There is no logic to your claim.

As to mercy, of course there is reason and circumstance when it should not be shown. Again, no logic to your claim.

Fleeing what is claimed to be danger, with no place to go, and then requiring strangers welcome you, demands considerable personal responsibility be accepted when such demands are not met.

I think it's interesting watching Germany flounder as their goodwill is tossed in their face, the political leadership, much like America's has thrown the door open to people who are NOT citizens, have no VESTED INTEREST in being citizens and who are now abusing the goodwill of their host country and there is NOTHING that can be done about it because of the insane policies that allowed said non-citizens to enter the country.

you do not know what these people assumed...that is the word used by you "the people assuming other countries owe them an existence"

Just because you can't understand or disagree with my stance does not make it illogical...another label thrown out by you signifying nothing...it's lazy to just label without demonstrating how

Mercy: kind or forgiving treatment of someone who could be treated harshly
: kindness or help given to people who are in a very bad or desperate situation
: a good or lucky fact or situation

so what's your problem with mercy?

anyone fleeing a terrible situation will require help, do you have a problem helping others that need help because Germany did not

okay, thus some are suing...*shrug* it means 20 people think it may expedite the process

I think it is merely a move to bring attention to their plight: They are effectively homeless with the country's bitter winter just around the corner - and night-time temperatures have already fallen below freezing.

I wasn't aware they're sleeping on the streets.

Yes, your comments regarding my posts are illogical. Also illogical is removing "perhaps" from my quote. Perhaps you could avoid doing that.

Again, my quote was: "Perhaps the people assuming other countries owe them an existence should rethink actions that require they be shown mercy. That would be the more responsible approach".

It seems it could be irresponsible to assume someone is going to take care of you once you arrive in place you have never been to before. There is nothing to debate on that point.

Oh, it most certainly is. Noting your comments, it is logical to conclude a gracious exit is certainly not your strong suit. :peace

Posting about it is one thing.

Acting like it's something more than a mild and minor curiosity is something else.

I see it as a beginning. If it works then more people will try it.

Why would that not be important enough to post about?
 
They dont deserve anything more than a single boat tail.
