TASK DEFINITION: In this task, you are given a public comment from online platforms. You are expected to classify the comment into two classes: disagree or agree. Classify the comment as disagree if it is likely to raise a certain level of public disagreement, whether healthy or unhealthy. The disagreement can be due to toxic content (for example, disrespect, identity attack, insult, and threat), controversial content, misunderstandings, or conflicting opinions. Classify the comment as agree otherwise.
PROBLEM: Comment: Trust me on this Ambrose. Anyone trudging across a field and jumping a ditch to enter Canada is not entering the country legally.

SOLUTION: Agree

PROBLEM: Comment: Lesley Bikos' contention that police forces are inherently toxic is so silly and immature it is a wonder why the Globe even provided her a forum. 

Really, Globe. Why DID you run this ridiculous nonsense?

SOLUTION: Disagree

PROBLEM: Comment: Leslie McGuire's claiming of "reimbursement" for lodging and meals at the federal per diem rate while on vacation in Germany is outrageous. Immoral. Unethical.

Question:  How many Alaskans think that your Permanent Fund Dividends should be reduced to pay for lavish perks and personal vacations for Lesil McGuire nd other legislators.

Answer:  None.

Question:  How many Alaskans think legislators should get thousands of dollars in "reimbursement" for lodging and expenses in excess of actual expenses.

Answer: None.

You gotta love some of the statements from legislators that "the accountants made us do it," or the $247/day $247 doesn't cover more than living costs.

If the latter is true, why in 2015 when Rep. Reinbold paid $850 in rent plus $100 in utilities, a total of $950/month, and Rep. Vasquez paid $650 in rent, plus $100 in utilities, a total of $750, both legislators received about $235 per day, or $7,000 per month.

Insist on reform, and hold onto your wallets.

SOLUTION:
Agree
