the city needed some more empty buildings, I ate at the one on Tanque Verde' after the raid, there was no question - some jobs are best left to the alien staff, the chicken the 'american staff was making' was killer.. but in another sense. JOBS American's just can't seem to do.. why is that? Oh the 'livable wage was not 'high enough' to cook chicken'? so it tasted great! We used to eat there 2 maybe 3 times in a week. Great service, fast, a game on the tube, good chicken, chips, drink, the working staff did very well. Now 'unemployed with a new child' great huh? Did the closure of this place - fix the national debt? make the veiew from your house better? fix TUSD? stop the drug war? stop the wall street encampment? NOPE IT DID NOTHING but close yet another Tucson business. For those that cheer this, "congradulations" the smell of success! No chickie for anyone!

Allegations of sexual harassment against a presidential candidate are newsworthy. Clinton had to deal with Gennifer Flowers during his first campaign, and that was always a consensual allegation. I'm not saying there is or isn't truth to the allegations against Cain, but anyone who pretends that these allegations against someone running for President aren't newsworthy is being moronic. Regardless of the party (Gary Hart, John Edwards, etc.) running for President makes your private life public. Allegations of wrongdoing come forward, and the press will report. Making this a racial issue or a partisan issue falls flat. Allegations of sexual harassment matter to a presidential candidate regardless of race or party.	0	0	0	1	0	0	0	0	0	6

lets see the 'occupy people' don't like the idea of bailout of private business 'to big to fail' and that fact that the GM's of the world - get bailed out' at the little guys aka taxpayers expense - so isn't this what the "tea party" is all about? No bail outs - stop the 'to big to fail crap' let the chips fall where they may, and along comes "obamaman with his bail out and GM electric cars, which sold 10,000 units but are deemed a success and the future GM (Gov't Motors) was really a 'pay back' to the unions, which is the 'labor little guy right'? so don't bail out the labor union GM worker? let them fail? and take the 401k's that are invested in them via the stock market and let them fail as well, maybe your fathers or mothers, or grandfathers retirement.. etc ; let'em get a job at WALMART this is a brave new world we live in, no retirements, no warranty's, no sure things savings, work till ya drop.

Stupid is stupid, maybe if the people protesting realized what pawns they have become. Knew the truth about why they are being used to promote class warfare, civil unrest and overall anarchy, maybe even if they had a clue what they were doing.

So how exactly is this considered "ethnic" studies when it focuses on only one "ethnicity"? One that uses foerign textbooks (of a socialist/communist slant), that promote a falicy in history stating that only whites are racist, and responsible for the ills of Mexico, and all Hispanics. Yet the same studies do not relate the racism on Mexico to those others Hispanics that are not from Mexico. Hypocritical at best.	0	0	0	0	0	0	0	0	0	13
Giving the Molina's the benefit of the doubt regarding others' comments about their greed, can we agree that there is a cost to running a business, and for a patron to come in, sit down and have people joyfully serve you fabulous food is going to cost some money. But maybe there is some greed on the part of the group that is foreclosing. The total amount due on the loan isn't indicated. but if the orginal amount is $450k, surely the people of Tucson can pull together to save a wonderful, old landmark that is almost sacred to long-time Tucsonans.

That is outright sensationalism to say that this is the last pristine area - get a map out some time, do a little research. These mines in all their glory will be so small in comparison to the government owned land in Pima and Santa Cruz counties. It is so convenient for you liberals to lie about pristine land when you have no clue. The Santa Ritas and Patagonia mountains are far from pristine - they have been settled and mined since westward expansion. Now the largest profitiers from the ranges are the Cartels. What do you think the economy of Patagonia is based on? - the drug trade.	0	0	1	0	0	0	0	0	0	25
The reason for the curfew does not apply here. The law was meant to reduce nuisance. This is a citizens's right that was guaranteed by the constitution.

In the midst of this climate, we remember Jesus and his family, who had to flee across borders to escape Herod's rage and find refuge in Egypt. We shudder to think what would have happened to the Holy Family and to Jesus had the Obama administration been governing Egypt at that time. Joseph and Mary fled to Egypt to escape Herod's order to kill recently born babies. While the article does not state why Mr. Morales came to the U.S., it's a fair guess that he came here, like many others, for work.

need it. Steven You have a good point...where are the minerals going to come from in the future? People have asked this question for many years about both minerals and oil. Currently there are 3 companies in the process of getting their operations underway - Rosemont, Curis, and Resolution. Other deposits are still in the wings. They were identified by geologists years ago but are not economic under current conditions. These greenfields deposits along with low- grade non-economic mineralization around the existing mines will be looked at in the next century. Technology has always reduced the cutoff grades needed to extract metals or to extract petroleum from deep offshore platforms. As to your question about whether locals would be hired by a Canadian company, you just need to look at the other operators nearby. Yes there are probably a few foreign-born employees on their payroll, but Mexicans aren't overrunning the ASARCO workforce and Australian-UKers aren't dominating BHPBilliton's payroll. Quadra Carlota employees are locally sourced. It's not cost effective to hire and relocate a bunch of Canadians to come down here when we have experienced mining, processing, construction, and technical staff right here in Arizona.	0	0	0	0	0	0	0	0	0	33

You can mitigate the water issue locally, but that water has to come from somewhere. That somewhere happens to be the Colorado River, which has been the lifeblood of people who have depended on it downstream into Mexico, and it is disappearing. That river is overused and it is not replenishing itself with snowmelt in the Rockies fast enough to keep up with Arizona, California, Nevada, Utah, and Colorado's use. I am also concerned about the La Cienega watershed. It is one of few riparian areas left in S. Arizona along which wildlife can move. The mine digs below the water table, according to the model Rosemont built, which would cause the stream to stop running, and water to backfill into the cavity. So what happens downstream now? This is bad for people, and it is bad for the plants and animals in the ecosystems that depend on the water. 20 years worth of jobs vs. permanent destruction of an entire ecosystem. I'm not sure those jobs would even make up for the loss of income locals make from ecotourism, a huge industry in S. Arizona! All this so a foreign company can take our resources and sell them elsewhere, and take their profits back to Canada? It just seems to me that the negatives far outweigh the positives...unless you happen to be Rosemont. Then you have a lot to gain at everyone else's expense.	0	0	0	0	0	0	0	0	0	38

"violations occurred when Arizona's construction boom was still in effect and employers such as Hardt had trouble finding enough workers to cover all the work. "He accepts full responsibility for that," That blames the employers actions on the housing boom. Yea, right the real story is that he simply made more money hiring illegals and paying them below standard wages. It would be very interesting to know how much a square foot he paid the ILLEGAL crews vs the legal ones. The man knowingly hired ILLEGALS and put the money in his pocket. By doing this, he was able to get more bids because his workforce was cheaper and thus screw other lath and stucco contractors out of work because of his lower labor prices. The simple answer to this question is the man simply hired ILLEGALS and put the money in his pocket and screwed the other lath and stucco contractors in the area that were trying to do the right thing and hire only legal workers. He should do jail time cause the buck stops with the boss and he was well aware of what was happening.	0	0	0	0	0	0	0	0	0	47

And bu ing foreign-made products manufactured from foreign raw materials I wasn't arguing to do that. I was arguing that we should subsidize manufacture instead of mining. The value of copper in most of the products that will be manufactured in/imported from Asia is such a small fraction of the price that it isn't worth talking about. Since we are into liberal fairness at the moment, what share of the current worlds copper does Arizona produce as compared to Arizona's consumption of copper? How many billions of dollars in added value is tacked on to Arizona's copper export surplus? How many tourism and recreation jobs are their compared to mining? What percentage of tourism and recreation dollars remain in the state as compared to copper sales? Bottom line is mining as an industry just loots this state and produces few jobs. Arizona provides and has provided far more than it's share of copper to the world. We should not be subsidizing mining with the use of public land and with a special lax regulation status from the 19th century. We are trying to compete in copper exporting where we have no competitive advantage and no self interest. That Arizona owes the world more copper is an absurd and selfish argument.	0	0	0	0	0	0	0	0	0	49

NO...large corporations are mostly interested in FAIR competition with other large corporations. If Tyson is getting undercut by what other BIG-chicken corporations are paying illegal workers, because enforcement of our immigration laws is non-existent, Tyson either has to follow suit or take a loss...though perhaps it is Tyson that is influencing all others by hiring illegal aliens. Anyway, Tyson probably does not care what labor costs are per se so long as all competitors are forced to employ from the same labor pool...which should be LEGAL workers. This is why requiring NATIONAL E-verify is so important. It removes the advantage some businesses choose in employing illegal alien cheap labor, forcing the actions by other businesses following suit just to compete at the same price level. The lure of cheap illegal labor needs to be erradicated from all business considerations.	0	0	0	0	0	0	0	0	0	52

Part of the problem is expectations in the 90's. We had a basketball team routinely collecting pac10 titles and making deep runs in the tourney (and winning a title), so we thought - why can't football do the same? Even sports illustated got on board and ranked us pre-season #1. no wonder Tomey's teams that consistently finished in the top half of the pac10, beat ASU and went to some minor bowl game still felt dissapointing. We wanted more than that. We wanted Rose Bowls and Natl Title contention - and Tomey wasn't getting it done. So we got greedy, rolled the dice, gave Tomey the boot and wound up Mackovicked. Mackovick made Tomey look like Vince Lombardi, in retrospect. My optimism for the future is that the program is in better shape today then when Mackovic left. Stoops wasn't a good game day coach, but he did a decent job of recruiting and there is some legit talent on the team. At least whoever is on the sideline next year won't have to start from scratch.	0	0	0	1	0	0	0	0	0	65

Bill B. I think that Mike Judge says it best in the opening narration of his film Idiocracy. As the 21st century began, human evolution was at a turning point. Natural selection, the process by which the strongest, the smartest, the fastest, reproduced in greater numbers than the rest, a process which had once favored the noblest traits of man, now began to favor different traits. Most science fiction of the day predicted a future that was more civilized and more intelligent. But as time went on, things seemed to be heading in the opposite direction. A dumbing down. How did this happen? Evolution does not necessarily reward intelligence. With no natural predators to thin the herd, it began to simply reward those who reproduced the most, and left the intelligent to become an endangered species.	0	0	0	0	0	0	0	0	0	67

Besides, Raul's re-election is, as always, in the bag. Gabby's? Not so much.	0	0	0	1	0	0	0	0	0	72
Wrong! All levels of supervision in a business such as this know, without a doubt, that those they are hiring and working with are not in this country illegally. But under the Obama kingdom that is soft on illegal immigration (granting de-facto amnesty to non-criminal illegal immigrants and their ever expanding families), as long as they can collect the funds that weren't paid to the Federal Government by paying cash to the workers, they will not prosecute any of the business management or payroll people once they get a check for the back payments.	1	0	0	0	0	0	0	0	0	73
Please explane how the "banks are hoarding our money"? The only way a bank gets money is if a person deposits it. I call that personal funds not "our money". I guess you think that the federal government deposits money into banks, WRONG! The Federal Government is borrowing more money than is takes in, so there are no funds for the U.S. Treasury to hold. I guess you just want to redistribute other peoples money that is on deposit in banks and credit unions.	0	0	0	0	0	0	0	0	0	74

Well, according to the article, after the protesters were cited and released, they went back into the park and spent the night against the law. It looks to me that the Chief and his soft tactics did not work. These people pitched tents and stayed in the park. It looks to me that the Chief needs to escalate his tactics and haul these law breakers off to jail. They had their chance, now is the time to enforce the law. If a protester is arrested again for staying past 10:30 PM in the park and they were previously cited and released, they should stay in the Pima County jail until they are arraigned! You must be held responsible for your actions.	0	0	0	1	0	0	0	0	0	81

Karole, that is myth that illegals and migrants are just coming here to do the menial jobs. One of the people who I personally have known to get busted for being in the country illegally, identity theft (using someone else's Social Security #), and working with that person's Social Security number was working in the Maintenance Department as a Temp. There are also many other examples of illegals taking jobs that aren't menial; jobs that Americans will do.	0	0	0	0	0	0	0	0	0	84
I am as anti-illegal as they come, and I'm no supporter of Obama's policies regarding illegals, but where do you come up with this malarkey? If Obama had issued orders "to not arrest any illegal for any reason no matter what" why are there record numbers being deported? See the contradiction? ---------------------- "He is a socialist communist dictator that hates Americans and loves illegals." I can't find the words to address that statement, other than you might want to talk to your doctor about Xanax.	0	0	0	0	0	0	1	1	0	85

Every demand these criminals make for citizenship, equal rights and benefits from social services, is a punch. The American taxpayer is starting to snap and snarl.

Just another thing for Arizona to be proud of, I guess. NOT!! Reduce health benefits, increase prisoners. What a great state!! The only state to reduce Medicaid rolls and the last state to require duplicitous forms between agencies and food stamp fingerprinting, which has been proved to make little or no difference in the integrity of the programs and which do little more than tie up state workers with administrative duties. It’s really too bad that such a beautiful state with so much to offer has been poisoned from the inside out by politicians who eat scorpions for breakfast. Thanks, Jan and Co.	0	0	0	1	0	0	0	1	0	90

Wow what a rant! The San Pedro Valley near Mammoth is noted for its diverse bird life including the Southwest Willow Flycatcher. This densely vegetated riparian corridor is loaded with archaeological resources and provides perennial water to wildlife in much of the length considered. It is all on private property owned by BHP. They could do whatever they liked with it including selling it off for subdivision use. Instead, they are choosing to provide this environmentally valuable property to the government in exchange for other rural property - which also has environemental and cultural value. The government did not invest the money to develop this deposit - a private company did. The government doesn't have the money or the expertise. Without the private $700 million (and counting) capital invested to develop it, the Resolution mineral resource is just a geological oddity and there is ZERO benefit to the taxpayer or local residents.	0	0	0	0	0	0	1	0	0	92
The opposition group Save the Scenic Santa Ritas is forming a series of what it calls expert panels to study the 1,000-plus-page draft and look for holes. Tom Purdon of its governing board hopes that could lead to the mine proposal being stopped or dying on its own.

What about the ones that didn't own their home but rented and lost their jobs....I know many good people, who lost their homes/apartments when they lost their job and had to endure selling off all their possessions, living in their cars and or shelters/family without any bailouts. Where is the help for those who now can no longer rent an apartment where they run a credit check with out paying off their former rental place. A friend of mine, who is back to work, and the only money he owes is to an apartment and cannot get an apartment now without paying for the one they had when he lost his job. The apartment/rental industry is making money on "lease break fees", excessive charges for breaking the lease, and for what ever concessions they gave when they signed the lease. I understand they had a contractual agreement, but they rented the apartment 20 days later to someone else and this bill is over 2500.00. That is excessive in my opinion, and prevents him from moving on. In all fairness, if we bail out homeowners, we are discriminating against people who did not own.	0	0	0	0	0	0	0	0	0	97

Dataset Card for incivility-arizona-daily-star-comments

This is a collection of more than 6000 comments on Arizona Daily Star news articles from 2011 that have been manually annotated for various forms of incivility including aspersion, namecalling, sarcasm, and vulgarity.

Dataset Structure

Each instance in the dataset corresponds to a single comment from a single commenter.

An instance's text field contains the text of the comment with any quotes of other commenters removed. The remaining fields in each instance provide binary labels for each type of incivility annotated: aspersion, hyperbole, lying, namecalling, noncooperation, offtopic, pejorative, sarcasm, vulgarity, and other_incivility.

The dataset provides three standard splits: train, validation, and test.

Dataset Creation

The original annotation effort is described in:

Kevin Coe, Kate Kenski, Stephen A. Rains. Online and Uncivil? Patterns and Determinants of Incivility in Newspaper Website Comments. Journal of Communication, Volume 64, Issue 4, August 2014, Pages 658–679.

That dataset was converted to a computer-friendly form as described in section 4.2.1 of:

Farig Sadeque. User behavior in social media: engagement, incivility, and depression. PhD thesis. The University of Arizona. 2019.

The current upload is a 2023 conversion of that form to a huggingface Dataset.

Considerations for Using the Data

The data is intended for the study of incivility. It should not be used to train models to generate incivility.

The human coders and their trainers were mostly Western, educated, industrialized, rich and democratic (WEIRD), which may have shaped how they evaluated incivility.
