In this task, you are given a public comment from online platforms. You are expected to classify the comment into two classes: insult and non-insult. Insult is any lanugage or act that is disrespectful or scornfully abusive.

[EX Q]: Comment: The Liberals were given a strong mandate? Are you on crack? 

The Conservatives have 99 seats, that hardly gives your party a "strong" mandate. And with your Captain Moonbeam and all of his broken promises I hope Her Majesty's Loyal Opposition continues to put the screws to them! You get over it and let Parliament on the Westminster system do it's job. The liberals whinning about proper procedure is pathetic.
[EX A]: Insult

[EX Q]: Comment: I wouldn't be caught dead, at a cockfight, in those dude duds, because duds they are.
[EX A]: Insult

[EX Q]: Comment: ”Canadians rarely exercise or even threaten to exercise hard power. Canadians now hold no value as a commodity and there is no risk if they are harmed. So who will be chosen to be the first victim?”

The logic escapes me. If they have no value, why kidnap them in the first place? That’s the reason Canada doesn’t pay ransoms ... it reduces the risk of kidnaping.

Personally, I have little sympathy for people who travel to high risk areas with no reliable and open central authorities. Why should Canada take heroic efforts - risk the lives of Canadian service personal and tax money that should be directed toward services - to rescue people like this?
[EX A]:
Non-insult
