TASK DEFINITION: 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.
PROBLEM: 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.

SOLUTION: Non-threat

PROBLEM: Comment: 20 years old is not a kid. I remember when I was 20 and there is no way I was so selfish and immature that I would kill someone, pull their dead body off my vehicle, then leave.

SOLUTION: Threat

PROBLEM: Comment: Cutting back on screenings is penny wise and pound foolish. While it is true that the problem with
screenings can result in false positives and over treatment when watching and waiting might be better
the choice should be between the physician and patient, not an insurance company like HMSA eliminating
such an option.
As always it is always about the money, no matter how they try to put a spin on things.
Oh well, how else is HMSA going to pay their executives such huge salaries, perks, bonuses etc.
It has to come from somewhere, yeah!

SOLUTION:
Non-threat
