    you'd have to be nuts to visit america as a non-citizen since you have no rights.

    The almost trollish nature of your comment begs the question, What are the rights of non-citizens in other (non-US) countries? In the US, the constitution guaraneets certain rights for US citizens. The same rights do not necessarily apply to "outsiders".

    Unable to stop a wave of trolling at SlashCode.com, the site janitors were forced to disable AC posting. This move is to compensate for the shitty lameness filter and the IP bans any teenager could circumvent with help from Google.

    Try to AC post, they don't want you to!
