Gollum do you pity him or hate him?

[hobbit punk]

i pitty Smeagol, i dont pitty Gollum.

I agree with this because Gollum is a wicked, twisted creature more than capable of murder and deceit.
Smeagol on the other hand, has been corrupted and twisted into a sad kind of ghost figure always fighting(and losing) with his Gollum half. Smeagol is a very sad character who we all want to redeem himself but the thing that has to be realized is that for hundreds of years the ring has poisoned Smeagol and made him what he is now. It is illogical to assume that Smeagol can shake Gollum esp. when the precious is so very much in his grasp. And most of us know which personality wins in the end.....
