"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."

"input": "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.",
"output": "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."
},
{
"input": "Comment: So, was there no other evidence? What about the victim statement? There was apparently enough to keep this person locked up awaiting trial for rape. What happened to the evidence that put him in jail? It did not just go away because the victim died? Surely we can do better in terms of both the memory of the victim as well as other potential victims.",
"output": "Agree",
"explanation": "The comment questions the justice process concerning a rape case. It is not disrespectful and expresses a reasonable criticism. The comment is unlikely to raise wide public disagreement."

"Negative Examples": [
{
"input": "Comment: Kind of like the Climate Change believers.",

"input": "Comment: Liberals too. If you support this government dogmatically, without looking at what they are doing, and I mean really looking hard, you're not a responsible citizen.",
"output": "Disagree",
"explanation": "The comment relates to politics but expresses a reasonable opinion that is likely to be agreed by the majority, despite their political beliefs. Thus, it is unlikely to raise public disagreement."

In the US much of the work is being done at the state level, and carbon pricing is already common in many other countries, particularly across Europe.\n\nThe challenges in Ontario have gone from poor implementation(from poor leadership) and restrictions faced through trade law. The actual big picture was the right one. A few Green MPP's would have helped.\n\nThe problem with Trudeau's plan is the proposed carbon tax(for provinces without carbon pricing) is too low, and you can't be serious about reducing emissions while simultaneously building pipelines.

Either they are incompetent or just intentionally not doing the sole job they have to do which is balance the budget. The Governor gave them a balanced set of proposals that would have done the job for them but they like you are bound by pig headed ideological opposition to anything Walker proposes because he is not Parnell.

Demand side economics says that the more disposable income that each individual household has , the healthier the overall economy will be.

Busy waging wars in various Islamic countries and quietly sending killer drones to kill Muslims in countries all over the Middle East and North Africa.\n Not only did they do nothing to decrease racism, Obama's soaring anti-racism rhetoric ended the day he became president and devoted all his power to bailing out Wall Street while abandoning Main Street.",

Although in general, I am a supporter of multiculturalism I do not think that it is the role of our government to single out one community in general for special protection when we have laws adequately protecting all citizens. Especially when that one community is known for all kinds of 'phobias' such as homophobia.",

A presumably intelligent man is acting childishly,pushing the envelope, letting all know he shares the views of a misogynist, bigot and bully. He very well knew what he was doing - we're likely to see more of this and it needs to be stopped in its tracks.",
