This fat stumpy fuck of a hobbit literally stole the Ring in the first place, so how is this story of LotR not based upon theft and immorality? How can we call them the Fellowship and not the Accomplices? The Ring should've been returned to Gollum, by the right of all civilized law

he stole it from an ugly creature so it's ok.
>>63544889
Gollum literally killed Deagol to steal the ring from him.
>>63544889
Finders keepers, or are you going to try to argue that he should have reported found property to the police and run a notice in the newspaper for 90 days before he could keep it?
>>63544889
He was professionally a burglar at the time.
It's kinda like killing doesn't count if you're a soldier.
>>63544889
Yes, greed is a major theme of the stories.
>>63544889
Smeagol killed Deagol and stole the ring from him.
By this logic, we should just return the ring to Sauron, it's creator and real owner, so he can rule the world with it.
so we see that all progress is a measure of greed and the morality fable ends with the final destruction of science
bravo tolkien
bravo luddites everywhere
>>63544889
are you retarded? the ring makes you steal it
>>63544889
Sometimes the ends justify the means. Of course that's probably something your feminine SJW cucK mind can't comprehend.
>>63544889
The ring abandoned gollum

well, lotr is a fantasy world without lawsuit culture, without sjw's and with common law as opposed to rigid enforcement of a penal code
also it was SAURON'S RING OF POWER. then it became ISILDUR'S BANE, then GOLLUM'S PRECIOUS, before finally becoming bilbo's invisibility ring

and then Frodo's Whinge Receptacle
and then Sam's Hold It for a While, Hold it for a While

Wrong. Gollum cheated at the riddle game. it's explicitly stated in the book that a game of riddles is to be played fairly at the risk of divine retribution. By intending to break faith with Bilbo gollum forfeits the ring since it was supposedly the prize after all.
