instruction:
In this task, you are given a public comment from online platforms. You are expected to classify the comment into two classes: obscene and non-obscene. A comment is obscene if it is considered offensive to the public sense of decency, for example because it too obviously relates to sex or contains language regarded as taboo in polite usage.
question:
Comment: Thing is, the cost of roads are covered by gas taxes, many times over.  I speak as someone who lives midtown and takes TTC and feel that as fellow Ontarians, suburbanites contribute a great deal to our city in many ways, and to the maintenance and development of transportation all over Ontario, at each fill up.  The fact that the City doesn't have funds to pay for the basic services of a city, including the creation and maintenance of infrastructure, means that the budget isn't allocating funds properly or primarily, that the province is not paying its fair share of gas taxes to Toronto.  Gas taxes should go to transit and infrastructure, period.  It'll only get worse thanks to Tory's stubbornness toward rebuilding the east Gardner and above all, sticking with subway rather than LRT in Scarborough.  Lots of money there.  Regardless, I think this is an issue of the province underfunding Toronto.  No tolls needed, gas taxes are already collected by the province.  Where are they going?
answer:
Non-obscene


question:
Comment: Nathan,

I guess we'll just have to wait and see how things work out.

In these discussions I'm hearing a lot of doubts expressed about Trump's ability to pick good leaders and make good decisions. That's primarily left-leaners who see things changing and mourning that their candidate lost. What gives me hope is that Trump is CEO of a complex and profitable $11B corporation. He didn't get there by being stupid and over the years he has developed a keen skill for evaluating people for their leadership abilities and putting them in positions where they can develop and deliver both growth and profits. So it will be interesting seeing how quickly and severely his management style conflicts with the entrenched bureaucracy and how much change he is actually able to drive. He has outlined an aggressive 100-day plan that I think is going to surprise a lot of bureaucrats by how quickly it knocks their ivory towers out from under them.
answer:
Non-obscene


question:
Comment: While I read Monica, I rarely comment on her posts. She appears to be imbued with many of the latest best sellers, in some conflict with the Church, and enamored of some theories which I consider half-baked. Obviously she is an intelligent woman, but I don’t see that she and I would have a great deal to talk about.

I have no interest in sticking my thumb into the eye of the Creator, or his Son, by heading down the path of Christianity being just one more “traditional religion”, entertaining the zany notion that “Christian theology” teaches “that our lives are conditioned by spirits”, or supporting the notion that “religions should be required to defend any of their ideas that have the potential to impact people negatively and, if those ideas prove unsubstantiated and harmful, the religion should be limited”, the last of which is straight out of China and the former Soviet Union.
answer:

Non-obscene
