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: Louisiana, a state with the death penalty and the highest murder rate in the country, has almost no gun control.
 Sent2: States without the death penalty generally have lower murder rates.

SOLUTION: Similar

PROBLEM: Sent1: The death penalty is gives the ability to off killers and murderers, as, if they were given life in parole, they have the ability to escape and continue their crimes.
 Sent2: They support it because killing murderers is the right thing to do.

SOLUTION: Not similar

PROBLEM: Sent1: If I were charged to do something that forced me to spend the rest of my life in jail, I would rather die right now - I think they're doing the criminal a favor by putting him down.
 Sent2: I say if someone gets life w/o parole, they should be put into a real jail, rather than the country clubs many criminals go to.

SOLUTION:
Not similar
