Well maybe if Gollum wwas kinder and gentler than he wouldn't bite Fordo's finger off in the first place. Maybe if he was nicer it would drastically alter the series...

well, that would suck. If Gollum doesn't bites the finger, than Sauron will get the ring.

I disagree.  I don't think Deagol would have become a gollum.  I think, eventually, one of Sauran's allies (or foes) would have found Deagol and taken the ring from him.  Remember, Smeagol liked looking down at the earth and didn't like the sun before he found the ring.  Therefore it made sense for him to hide away in the mountain.  Deagol didn't seem like the type to want to climb into a mountain to "get away from the nasty sun."  Thereby exposing the ring to any and all who had the power to feel it's strength.
Ignorance is a common ailment.  In time, it goes away.  Unless it proves fatal.

well, he wouldn't have become gollum, but he would have been corrupted. and he would have known he needed to hide the ring away. Remember, the ring CHOSE smeagol, so it could hide itself till Sauron was ready. if Deagol had ended up with the ring, he would have hidden away somewhere.
