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: You might say the criminal deserved it, but murder is murder, whether they deserved it or not.
 Sent2: They support it because killing murderers is the right thing to do.

SOLUTION: Not similar

PROBLEM: Sent1: Because justice operates to protect society by deterring future crime, one would have to show that the death penalty prevents more crime than life in prison, thus fulfilling the function of justice better than that of life in prison.
 Sent2: And no, society is not better served by life imprisonment than the death penalty because society then learns that consequences aren't very severe for committing an act of murder.

SOLUTION: Not similar

PROBLEM: Sent1: Therefore the argument of death as a deterent is a joke.
 Sent2: As far as the deterrent argument, I have said this before, and I will say it again: There is no accurate way to measure if the death penalty is deterring crime or not.

SOLUTION:
Similar
