> that basic human/mutant rights are ignored
Mutants are given a pass...they do not even have to register
> that people with powers that have no plans whatsover of being superheroes are forced to work for the government,
you are NOT forced to work with the govt...you are forced to train them so you dont injure others but you are not forced to be active
> that even though this is only a US law people like stark likes to enforce it outside the US,
there has been ZERO enforcement outside the USA...the only thing he has done outside USA is SHIELD stuff that has always been the case with SHIELD
> that known supervillains are hired to enforce this law,
Yeah the Thunderbolts are a bit odd I'll give you...the govt. threw them out there to counter the Initiative, but they are a cure thats worse then thye problem
> that innocents together with supervillains are jailed in the negative zone just for refusing to sign for the shra,
Only those that actively resisted were put into the Negative Zone...it wa a war...no "innocents" are there. Also it depends on which comic you buy how things are actually run there.
> that the enforcers of this law are so busy trying to jail other heroes that they have no time to weed out the corruption present among those that enforces it
They HAVE shown that Tony is still looking for whats corrupt in SHIELD...he has come down hard on any in the Initiative who acted out of line...Gyrich was REMOVED for his corruption. There has been some effort...and there has been some results.

When you keep making stuff up sure it can go on and on...lol

That's hardly an argument, they don't have to register because apparently they were ALREADY registered.

So can a trainee refuse to take part in a training mission, like, say, being thrown into a lethal firefight with AIM (Or it might have been Sons of the Serpent, I forget) as happened early in the Initative?

Battlestar, the former Bucky, and member of Freedom Force, was attending an underground meeting of unsigned heroes when a bunch of "cape killers" (Nice non-perjorative title they gave themselves there) threw a bomb into the middle of it. He might have been in strict violation of the law, but there's such a thing as "appropriate force".
