TASK DEFINITION: We would like you to classify each of the following sets of argument pairs (discussing Death Penalty)  into either SIMILAR or NOT SIMILAR. A pair of arguments is considered SIMILAR if the arguments are about the same FACET (making the same argument), and is considered NOT SIMILAR if they do not have the same FACET. A FACET is a low level issue that often reoccurs in many arguments in support of the author's stance or in attacking the other author's position.
PROBLEM: Sent1: If we don't stop the death penalty before we try to fix it, the imperfect system will continue to convict innocent people while we determine what is best for it.
 Sent2: The fact is that as long as we have a death penalty (the only Western nation to have it), we will execute innocents with the guilty.

SOLUTION: Similar

PROBLEM: Sent1: IMHO, if we have the confidence in our system to throw someone in a cage for the rest of their natural life we should have the same confidence to put someone to death.
 Sent2: By the same token, if we keep administering the death penalty while the system is broken, we will have a much greater risk of putting someone innocent to death.

SOLUTION: Not similar

PROBLEM: Sent1: In addition, it is evident that the death penalty does not deter murder rates.
 Sent2: The death penalty has never been shown to be a deterent to murder.

SOLUTION:
Similar
