Gollum do you pity him or hate him?

[propagandalf]

What's all this talk about killing Gollum? True, Gollum is an evil murderer but why kill him? It's the ring's fault. Gollum can't help it if he's vulnerable to the the precious. Why blame him for something he has no control over? What if it were you?

Don't forget Gollum was 'Smeagol' once. Yes, he was greedy and mean and all that. But so are a lot of people. Why, I can name 10 people who are mean and stupid right now... but should they be killed for that? N.O.

Gandalf say:
"Do not be too eager to deal out death in judgement. For even the very wise cannot see all ends. I have not much hope that Gollum can be cured before he dies. But there is a chance of it."

(warning: THE RETURN OF THE KING SPOILERS)

There was something in Gollum that was worth saving. The movie-Frodo saw that. And he did try to save him. The movie-Frodo realized 'the precious' was corrupting Gollum cuz he was starting to feel it too. Frodo knew that he was bound to the same fate as Gollum. And he would have turned into a monster too, had Gollum not stepped in. Would you have blamed Frodo too? Boromir tried to kill Frodo for the ring. What makes him any different?

The true evil in this story and the only one worth killing 10x, in my opinion, (besides Sauron) is Saruman. He has no redeeming qualities. All the evil things he did, he did on his own free will. (unless I'm wrong?).

If you choose to murder Gollum, then you are worse than him. Gollum was under the influence of Sauron's majick ring. What's your excuse? Hehehhee.

[img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img] just my opinion, please don't take it personally.
Half of the things I say are in jest.

CheeeeeEEEeeeers.

Ps- On second thought, even Saruman is not worth killing (unless in defense). I do not think I believe in ‘killing’.
