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: I would rather have justice be done than to give a rapist the chance to grab another little girl or a murderer to have the chance to kill an innocent person I might know or care about.
 Sent2: How do you compare killing a little child who has never had the chance to live to the execution of a criminal who has been raping and killing little children?

SOLUTION: Not similar

PROBLEM: Sent1: i think that life without opportunity of parole is the more humane and just punishment instead of the death penalty.
 Sent2: People generally think that the death penalty is worse than life without parole (certainly most criminals seem to think so).

SOLUTION: Not similar

PROBLEM: Sent1: I am responding.....you seem to think thatg life in prison is worse then the death penalty........I am telling you that the prisoners on death row would disagree........
 Sent2: I guess the question begs to be asked to my friends on the left is If life in prisonment is so much worse then the death penalty why do you think most prisoners on death row would choose that option?

SOLUTION:
Similar
