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.

[EX Q]: Comment: News Flash, we cannot fix the worlds refugee problems. Besides, we have our own issues to deal with. A large number of First Nations Canadians, need our help. Charity begins at home. Once we have everyone in this country looked after, perhaps we can then look to helping with more of the world problems. It is time for the politicians in this country to stop all the BS and get to work fixing our First Nations issues. No more selfies and funding for UN projects, until we solve our own challenges. Man but the politicians in this country are crap.
[EX A]: Non-threat

[EX Q]: Comment: Shame on you RG!  "Big Pay Increases"!? Biased and shameful article. You've lost my business this week. It's a shame it has come to this and those that will suffer are our community workers and the public they serve on a daily basis. Do your homework before declaring these people can just be replaced...there have been a multitude of positions open for years and many have been doing the job of two to three due to vacancies. If you all think this is such a cush job and don't mind making considerably less than the private sector employees then why haven't you applied?  I'm not going to look the other way while our county commissioners get huge pay raises and want to grumble about a 2% cost of living raise. Anyone tried to rent a house in Eugene lately? These people deserve to pay their bills and feed their families like everyone else.
[EX A]: Non-threat

[EX Q]: Comment: I am well-familiar with D'Sousa.   He's made a nice living selling junk science and religious ideology to people who's minds are closed to reality.  The other guy is no doubt peddling the same superstitious, unevidenced nonsense.  That the churches sponsoring them are able to   make a tidy tax-free fortune is the real "sin" here.    Having an open mind isn't about entertaining and accepting anything that comes along.  It's about being curious and honest about seeking true answers while discarding "answers" given that not only have no evidence to back them, but come with threats of punishment for disbelief and empty promises of living forever for accepting them - along with, of course, giving money.
