Right. Immortality was for the elves, sadly.

Aragorn in Valinor...?
..wouldn´t that defeat the whole purpose of The Lord of the Rings?
..Aragorn´s internal struggle, as the heir of Gondor?
..it wouldn´t quite fit Tolkien´s storyline
..different story all together, part of Fanfic

but I don't think Sam would have wanted to go. At least not without his family, and I don't think he would have had a reason to go, since he was lucky in the end, wasn't he?

I don't think that Frodo should have gone into the West without creating a bloodline of Bagginses. They won't live on...well they will in the Tooks but still...It's a shame it had to be that way but i guess it just did...
Frodo was a hero along with the Gamgees and i think his part in the tale ended all too quickly.
By the way if Immortaility was fo rthe elves only, how come hobbits are able to sail into the west, and wizards, and of course dwarves....

I also don't like the end, but I guess we can't change it
but I can understand why Frodo wanted to go away, so I guess it was the best solution for him...

I`m sure it was a difficult choice for Frodo to leave, but it is understandable why he left.

 Change it!
Next time someone brings up the whole "Why don't they just have the eagles fly the Ring to Mt Doom" argument, I'm just gonna say "Nothing we can do about it now, eh?"

Is time slower in Valinor? Or will Frodo, Gimli, Sam, etc all die at a natural rate?

I would think that time does not exist in a place like Valinor. Pain, death, and grieving whilst all part of a mortal life do not exist in such a pure place.

Faramir could do it. He is the Steward.

This is all confusing. In essence, Hobbits are Immortal there. They are allowed to live out there forever, like Heaven really, they aren't dead are they?
I also think that Frodo going off with no wife means I wouldn't have to see wor Elijah Kissing some girl lol - in his hobbit stuff which to me is the most attractive side to Elijah, the long curly hair  yum!
Hee, but It's sad in a way. I suppose his character is always preserved in our hearts and in History lol. Who needs kids? It would have probably taken a lot of aspects out of him anyway, having a wife and kids.

I don't think the Hobbits were immortal. They died like everyone else.
