And this is one of the fundamental problems with superhumans ... the belief that they comprise a seperate community. The community is the people, not some select segment of the people.
Yes, that is exactly what I am saying, except for in reverse... they deserve to be respected by the rest of the community, namely the non-superhumans... they are people to, and have just the same rights as everyone else. Why shouldn't a normal person be forced to register and sign up for SHIELD to serve the government then?

A difference in skin pigmentation, though perhaps a variation in a gene, isn't one that can vapourize a city block via a simple act of will, or take over a persons mind and will.
Make a judgment on one element of genes and you must make a judgment upon all of them. And there was a time when other races were considered evil and inhuman. And I'm sure that the ability to summon squirrels is definetely a threat.

You are exactly right. You are registered, and your country DOES NOT give you a job on birth. Likewsie, once you complete your education in whatever field you have chosen, your country STILL does not give you anything. This is not even an issue, and only serves to demonstraet how registration is not some horror show waiting to happen, but part and parcel and right there beneath everyone's nose already. And has been all along. The primary issue is superhumans who have CHOSEN to exercise their powers in a deemed both illiegal and anti-social by society at large. They have chosen to act as our police. THat being the bed they made, such people are merely being forced to lay in it. Or perhaps every citizen sould feel that they have the right to put on a mask, smash in a door, and kick someone's teeth in whenever they, as individuals, decided someone has done wrong?
The primary issue it may be, but it is not the only issue, which if you'll read my posts is my main problem of it. The quote from Tony Stark says that all people possessing superpowers must register or be seen as violating federal law. In a sense, they are actually being encouraged to use their powers, but only in the exact ways specified by the government so how is that any difference? And way to spin my words. I'm not arguing for the right of citizens to smash people's teeth in. I'm arguing for defense of common man, to which there has been little objection. I'd like to note that I already said that I was a bit uncertain about the actions of the New Warriors. And what is actually being argued by the superhero registration act is that they should no longer make the decisions as to the battles they fight, but that they should be servants of the government.

Once again, it very easy for us readers to sympathize with our heroes. We KNOW they're that. We see every situation they are invovled in from conception to resolution, and we are privy to their every thought and feeling, whilst they are completely unaware of us and our scrutiny. To seek to apply THAT to the MU would be grossly unfair.
For the most part, I would agree on the reader bias perspective, however, it is clear within the Marvel universe that many of these heroes are seen as just that, evidenced by the recent trend in showing kids worshiping these heroes (Alex Wilder, Franklin Richards, Molly Hayes) as such.

One can only think though that if Namorita had had the proper training she would have found an altenrative to slamming Nitro, who powers hsould have been known prior, into a school bus in front of a school full of children. She can fly for crying out loud? Why are cops encourage to break off high speed pursuits in residential areas? We know what could happen if they didn't. So do they. And if they fail do what is, or should be, right and obvious, they should be held accountable themselves. Not to some little Star Chamber. To society.
Like I said, I'm not condoning the actions of the New Warriors. But making broad generalizations about heroes, inside and outside of the MU is a bit unfair.

Incidently, anyone think that these are the arguemetns that should have been going on in Illuminati?

"Lifestyle choice"? Do you have any idea how immensly incorrect/offensive that term is for/to gays, SOTW? I did not choose to be gay...I just am.
Did I say that I was referring to homosexuals? No, I didn't. Was I? No. I know how homosexuality works, and I'm not the insensitive moron you made me out to be within the period of one post. While I may not be homosexual myself, I've had enough of an intimate experience with the homosexual lifestyle to be quite certain that I understand exactly how it works. My father is a gay man who is now happily married to a partner, and I am in fact the product of such a happy marriage. So please, don't think I meant to imply any insult to homosexuals.

While this is as much an arguable thing, I was actually referring to religious choices, which I know sets me up for just as much of a bullet to the head (especially here where it seems like I've been caught in such shots ever since my arrival). From at least the modern viewpoint, religion is a lifestyle viewpoint, even if one is born into it (and as was the case with Jews in Nazi Germany, labeled a race and unable to remove such a brand from themselves even if they did not associate with the Jewish beliefs).

Once again, I intended no offense to any people in comparing the mutant problem to real world issues, although I certainly will earn much heat for doing so.
