Part 1. Definition
In this task, you are given a public comment from online platforms. You are expected to classify the comment into two classes: disagree or agree. Classify the comment as disagree if it is likely to raise a certain level of public disagreement, whether healthy or unhealthy. The disagreement can be due to toxic content (for example, disrespect, identity attack, insult, and threat), controversial content, misunderstandings, or conflicting opinions. Classify the comment as agree otherwise.
Part 2. Example
Comment: Why do right wingers have so little respect for the rule of law when the law does not advance their personal interests? Is it a lack of empathy? Or a more general lack of basic human decency? I don't doubt that pBurns9 would be the first one to run to the courts if his rights were violated.
Answer: Disagree
Explanation: This comment expresses strong disagreement with right-wing politics, is disrespectful (accusing right-wingers "lack of basic human decency"), and comes with personal attack (to the user pBurns9). Thus, this comment is likely to raise a certain level of public disagreement from others.
Part 3. Exercise
Comment: So let me get this straight. Unlike Government workers these specialist MD's have no pension, no dental, no VIP benefits, no catastrophic life insurance, no physio, no overtime, no triple time on stat holidays, have to work holidays, work weekends, don't see their families and children for dinner, take call for their colleagues overnight once a week, may not have disability and don't have paid vacations. So if these MD's work longer hours and harder and then have to pay more taxes on the additional work.....they just won't work extra. They must feel screwed, let the politicians find some one else to do it. Results in longer wait times in the imploding disasterous Canadian health care system.
Answer:
Disagree
