that didn't seem to work well..........the ring is evil it will find it's way back

MadMonk: we know the bit about Aragorn has been filmed and will show up in ROTK.
resinrats: in the book the question of dropping the Ring into the ocean is explicitly discussed. Gandalf says that "there are many things in the deep waters," hinting that there's something down there that might grab the Ring. He also notes that it might wash back up on shore again.
Also, it's not clear that Gandalf can teleport objects (if he could, he'd surely teleport himself instead of having to travel everywhere by foot or horse.)

Read the books. The movies are clearly too hard for you to understand.

And the winner of the most condescending post of the day goes to......e-Bullies rule.
I think Frodo didn't give Sam the ring for the reason he states: the burden is his and his alone. He's trying to protect everyone else, or at least that's what I got from it.
I think it's a fair question, by the way.

At the end of the movie Frodo wasn't trying to protect Sam when he was holding Sting to Sam's throat for a good 30 seconds.

You are assuming that will happen! Granted, we have not yet seen "the Voice of Saruman" and "the Palantir" chapters on film (even though they were in the second book, and will hopefully be in the third film.)
