The thing is for all people with powers the law makes it so they have no choice but to register and serve as weapons for the government until they are depowered or killed. EVEN MUTANTS. But no one will enforce that because anyone who tries to tell the X-men what to do by force wont be leaving in one piece. The thing is a person with powers cant just say they dont want to be a hero and go on with their lives. Jessica Jones tried that and they still tried to make her register. The problem with the law is that it takes away choice. Cloud 9 was never a threat and still isnt. However for some reason the government has decided to racially profile every powered person as a super hero. That is something thats wrong. For example what if Franklin Richards grows up and decides he wants to be a baseball player is the government gonna say sorry but you have powers so its off to latvaria for you! I'm Glad there are teams like the New avengers, New Warriors, Runaways, and the remaining YA who refuse to bend over and take it from president charles in charge.
: The whole founding fathers argument doesn't
: seem to fly here because Peter has
: representation. He could run for office,
: himself or start a protest campaign to have
: this recinded. But, no, he chooses to go
: against the American public, who wanted this
: so much so that they engaged the system and
: forced their representatives to enact this
: law.
:
: Also it isn't out of the ordinary to have
: Spidey cross ways with the law. He's spent
: most of his carreer being pursued by the NY
: city police department.
:
: Is Spidey a hero, yes. Is he following the
: law, no. Who decides which laws we are
: going to obey, the people and the
: government. If the government fails the
: people, then the people, at least in the
: Bush led America, they can change it and get
: him or anyone else elected out of office.
:
: This whole Captain America, Spider-Man being
: good argument is just not going to fly. If
: they don't like the law, then they change
: the law.
:
: Laying all the blame at Tony Stark's feet is
: a view that will not fly either. Sure you
: can blame an individual like Tony Stark or
: real world like President Bush, but it will
: never be a satisfactory answer to blame one
: person for difficult decisions. If we don't
: like the real world, then we get involved
: and change it, legally or if illegally, then
: we face the consequences. If in the comics,
: someone feels something is wrong, they go
: beat up the bad guys, but in this case the
: perceived bad guys are the American public
: who has suffered for the decisions of the so
: called heroes over and over again.

: I do but the thing is sending heroes after
: spidey who will hold back and wont try to
: KILL him is one thing. Sending HIS villains
: to get him who will do anything to KILL him
: is very different. However I can't wait till
: all the villains get free. Then lets see how
: smug the pro reg side is. (Insert evil laugh
: here) Also I really dont trust Gyrch at all
: he is an evil character. At least at the end
: of the day you know stark doesnt want to
: wipe all super powered people off the planet
: Bush and Gyrch do. Thats why I dont trust
: the SHRA

: --Previous Message--
: Yes, they fought back, but they were still
: breaking the law. We all have our opinions
: on whether the SHRA is right or wrong, but
: at the end of the day the anti-Regs are
: going against a federal law. That does not
: make them bad guys, but that doesn't make
: the people pursuing them bad guys either.
: And while i haven't read any of the
: THunderbolts issues or any issues relating
: to the Thunderbolts, I'd speculate that
: Hydro-Man, Boomerang and Shocker are among
: those under the nanotechnology that STark
: has people like the Green Goblin hooked up
: to. I hope what i said makes some sense. I
: understand where you're coming from though.

: No what I'm saying is the founding fathers
: objected to taxation without representation
: and the tea tax along with many other laws.
: So they faught back. Which is what the new
: avengers are doing. Also its not heroes
: going after spidey their sending the
: initiative kids with villains!!!. People who
: want Spidey dead.

: But it is the law and rather than protest it
: in court Spider-Man and the New Avengers
: have chosen to defy the law. That does make
: them criminals. Not liking a law doesn't
: maek you exempt from it. If it did,
: millions of pot smokers acros the country
: wouldn't have to worry about posession
: charges if pulled over at the wrong time.
