instruction:
In this task, you are given a public comment from online platforms. You are expected to classify the comment into two classes: obscene and non-obscene. A comment is obscene if it is considered offensive to the public sense of decency, for example because it too obviously relates to sex or contains language regarded as taboo in polite usage.
question:
Comment: They don't mind paying more for? How much more? $5/gal? $8/gal? $10/gal?
The second the price of gasoline rises above $3, the same people who demonize the oil and gas industry conclude the rise is due to greedy oil and gas folks. Markets be damned!
answer:
Obscene


question:
Comment: Thing is, the cost of roads are covered by gas taxes, many times over.  I speak as someone who lives midtown and takes TTC and feel that as fellow Ontarians, suburbanites contribute a great deal to our city in many ways, and to the maintenance and development of transportation all over Ontario, at each fill up.  The fact that the City doesn't have funds to pay for the basic services of a city, including the creation and maintenance of infrastructure, means that the budget isn't allocating funds properly or primarily, that the province is not paying its fair share of gas taxes to Toronto.  Gas taxes should go to transit and infrastructure, period.  It'll only get worse thanks to Tory's stubbornness toward rebuilding the east Gardner and above all, sticking with subway rather than LRT in Scarborough.  Lots of money there.  Regardless, I think this is an issue of the province underfunding Toronto.  No tolls needed, gas taxes are already collected by the province.  Where are they going?
answer:
Non-obscene


question:
Comment: "Just because conservatives are convinced traditional media have an inherent liberal bias doesn’t make it so."
And it follows that just because traditional media don't think they have a liberal bias also does not make it so.

"traditional media are often the only media with enough resources and experience to thoroughly investigate and report complex news stories and determine their importance or relevance."
Is that why Willamette Week broke the Kitzhaber/Hayes story while the RG and Oregonian sat on their hands? Not relevant? Or why Ted Coppel claimed ABC News didn't have the resources to investigate the allegations of corruption when Ken Starr's lead investigator into Vince Foster's death gave Coppel compelling evidence it was happening? Because, you know, it was only the opportunity to uncover a possible murder of a high ranking US official. The major outlets also skipped printing the court ordered addendum to Starr's report which provided the evidence. Not important, I guess.
answer:

Non-obscene
