instruction:
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.
question:
Comment: And your lumping all the oligarchs into one heartless, unfeeling, moneygrabbing, disinterested, dispassionate, uncaring group that does no good works, employs no one, fires workers at a whim, gives nothing to charity, polluting Ebenezer Scrooge is not only misdirected, but a enormous lie.
answer:
Non-threat

question:
Comment: "Canada may end up being just a large Puerto Rico"
This is one of the most inane posts I have ever read.
Puerto Rico is part of the U.S., Canada is a sovereign country.
Puerto Rico is a small island. Canada is world's second largest country by size.
Canada is the 10th largest economy in the world, Puerto Rico #60.
Puerto Rico has had negative economic growth for nine of the last ten years, dwindling population, massive economic problems.
With 4.2 projected growth this year, Canada leads the G-7.
It's like comparing the muscle strength of my grandmother to the entire New England Patriots team.
Unbelievable. Your statement makes rational discussion impossible.
answer:
Non-threat

question:
Comment: Good article - our government seems to like to speak out of both sides of their face. One message for us, and another for murky foreign investors.
Did I not read dear Justin making a remark some days ago about the "global elite" being responsible for so much of the unrest and the success of populist parties? Would rich, murky, (corrupt) Chinese investors not also fit into this category?
answer:
Non-threat
