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.

Q: Comment: "Shopping elsewhere only perpetuates and emboldens blatant discrimination."

Exactly. Just like the old argument that those black folks could go across town to their own lunch counter.

A: Non-insult

Q: Comment: Here in Philadelphia there were about 50,000. It was very civil in my opinion. People brought their children. One child had a sign: "I am too young to vote but I will remember." A woman had a sign: "I protested in the 60s and today I am protesting in my 60s." There were very few signs relating to abortion and hardly any signs that were vulgar unless the sign on someone's male boxer dog would offend some: "Build a wall and I'll pi** on it." There were signs on immigration, education, climate, human rights, health care - all issues that are important to women. I had a sign with a picture of Pope Francis saying: "Build bridges not walls." A man with a group from his synagogue smiled and nodded to me when he read my sign.

A: Non-insult

Q: Comment: "John North, the vice president of finance for Ashland-based Lithia Motors, said the auto retailer would see almost all its profits from Oregon stores wiped out under a tax measure headed toward the November 2016 ballot.

"That's not really sustainable," said North, adding that Lithia, one of the state's three Fortune 500 companies, might reduce its presence in Oregon if the measure passes.

"Everything is on the table," he said. "We may have to change our headquarters."

North said his firm now pays between $3 million and $4 million a year in state taxes, and he calculates that amount would increase to about $35 million. Lithia operates on an after-tax margin of about 2.7 percent, he said, and a sales-based tax of 2.5 percent "basically takes away all the motivation to do business in Oregon because there is no profit."

Kill your goose, idiot.
