question:
Comment: "Canada may end up being just a large Puerto Rico"
This is one of the most inane posts I have ever read.
Puerto Rico is part of the U.S., Canada is a sovereign country.
Puerto Rico is a small island. Canada is world's second largest country by size.
Canada is the 10th largest economy in the world, Puerto Rico #60.
Puerto Rico has had negative economic growth for nine of the last ten years, dwindling population, massive economic problems.
With 4.2 projected growth this year, Canada leads the G-7.
It's like comparing the muscle strength of my grandmother to the entire New England Patriots team.
Unbelievable. Your statement makes rational discussion impossible.
answer:
Non-threat


question:
Comment: Got Dope?

“You go into Afghanistan, you got guys who slap women around for five years because they didn’t wear a veil. You know, guys like that ain’t got no manhood left anyway. So it’s a hell of a lot of fun to shoot them. Actually it’s quite fun to fight them, you know. It’s a hell of a hoot. It’s fun to shoot some people. I’ll be right up there with you. I like brawling.” 
General James "Mad Dog" Mattis 
GO TRUMP!

Threat


question:
Comment: At least these scholars are thinking for themselves, not something that is encouraged much in our schools - but should be. Issues such as this should be up for debate in every school in the country not give rise to disciplinary hearings. Nevertheless it is a mystery firstly why the EFF find it necessary to resort to threats of violence in a matter that involves school children and secondly why anyone would report the comments of Kevin Pietersen who time and again has shown himself to be nothing but a disruptive twat who is unable to exercise any rational judgment before opening his trap.
answer:

Non-threat
