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: Whether I think a "political campaign should be carried out by 140 character tweets" or whether you do is irrelevant.  HIs Tweets worked.  He is the President-elect. 

 He didn't want to stay out the media; he wanted Free media; and he got it.

The Carnegie Mellon analysis is irrelevant to his results.  The US Army had to 'dumb down' its training to the 8th grade reading level when we went All Volunteer army in the 1980's.  And IQs have been steadily dropping since.  

Who do you think Motor Voter and other 'increase the number of voters' programs  were registering to vote?  Rhodes' Scholars and PhD Candidates?   Nope.  A lot of people who were either too disinterested or too ignorant to bother makes up that kind of registration.
[EX A]: Non-threat

[EX Q]: Comment: Completely agree.  The RCAF serves  this country well.  We lost a pilot yesterday.  I hope his family doesn't read the article about his death and then scroll down and see the RCAF's name denigrated in this cavalier and un-funny manner.  Pathetic.
[EX A]: Non-threat

[EX Q]: Comment: Elise , you need to stop blaming others for your weight issues .  If you didn't go to dances because you  felt over weight , you probably were .  Other's didn't force you to over eat . The only person to blame is the person you see in the mirror . Professional beauty contests are different . Women KNOW going in they are judged by their looks and if they win , they are by written contract expected to maintain that look for the next year. That lady didn't follow her contract and was fired---just like anyone in business would be fired for failing to do their job. It's pathetic and an outrage that Clinton runs an ad showing young school girls looking in the mirror with sour faces with Trumps voice dubbed in saying they look fat and ugly when Clinton knows his comments had nothing at all to do with young innocent kids. if a person has to trick you to vote for them with deceptive TV ad's , what other lies and tricks will they pull in office ? Destroy evidence / emails ?
[EX A]:
Non-threat
