In this task, you are given a public comment from online platforms. You are expected to classify the comment into two classes: threat and non-threat. Threat is a statement that someone will be hurt or harmed, especially if the person does not do something in particular.

[Q]: Comment: Aww hell no!  Don't extend Matayoshi's term by even a minute!  She's the cancer that needs to be removed.
[A]: Threat


[Q]: Comment: United used to be a decent airline. In October 2010, they merged with Continental which had always, in my experience, been a horrible airline. We were flying back from New England when Continental-uniformed staff stepped into United Airlines jobs and immediately the customer service took a nose-dive. I filed a complaint for the way they treated my mother-in-law for just being a little slow to respond to them. That was the same weekend the TSA started the nude photoscanning and pat down searches, so it was a miserable trip home and we're still waiting to hear back on that complaint.

I wasn't surprised to see this in the news. Arrogance will always show in a company eventually. That their own crew had priority over a passenger makes me wonder if United's CEOs and middle managers need to take a course on capitalism.

Back of this may be a government regulation about flight crew transport. Many business problems trace back to government rules forcing impossible choices.
[A]: Non-threat


[Q]: Comment: In theory, yes.  But do you think this particular essay is likely to change anyone's mind?  If it doesn't, you could argue that Trump supporters are so closed-minded that nothing will sway them.  An alternative explanation is that this essay was short on empirical data and logic and long on name-calling.  Such an admission, however, would require far more self-awareness and introspection than this author appears to have.
[A]:
Non-threat
