Addendum:

I did say above that the ring itself wanted to corrupt the bearer. This is correct, but it is rather an out shoot of the ring's desire to be reunited with Sauron that part of it's original design.

It actually tried to dominate the bearer, and either use them to get to Sauron, or set them up as another dark lord.

if you read the book... word for word...... look at it vary careful

you'll see that it dose "proserve the controler" but at the same time by being "proserve the controler" is in away is corrupting them buy changing the natural life spand of the hobbit... Also that when ever tehy see the ring the want to put it on..... So in a way there not... but in awa they are being corrupted by the ring!!!
