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: Most other first-world countries don't have the death penalty, but have lower rates of crime, just pointing that out.
 Sent2: Also, within the USA, murder rates are consistently lower in states that don't have capital punishment.

SOLUTION: Similar

PROBLEM: Sent1: I think that criminals view the death penalty as worse than life imprisonment and worse than temporary solitary confinement within life imprisonment - at least given the conditions in American prisons.
 Sent2: I am "for" capital punishment... but if a criminal shows a desire for death over a life sentence, I prefer to be sadistic.

SOLUTION: Not similar

PROBLEM: Sent1: So how about we stop a penalty that has executed innocents?
 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:
