Being Germans, the idea of someone not being able to identify themselves is inconceivable, worse even; illegal.

Of course this precludes many homeless people from voting, and often from receiving other services, but order must be held in higher regards than compassion.

This is the most German statement I have ever heard.

"but order must be held in higher regards than compassion."

Don't project.

Having helped homeless people and seeing many people help homeless people in Germany, I don't think I have ever heard a more stereo typing comment on Hackernews.

And if you're German (or somewhere else), I hope you have given to causes for the homeless, or organized something on your own, because talk is cheap.
