Because that's in violation of Da Rules. Can't kill people (or just affect against their will) who are stronger than the dragon's creator.

Maybe Shenron wanted to turn evil and that's why he advocated their using all their wishes.

[up][up][up]Because the only legitimate way to do these things is through super powered martial arts battles to the death. Duh. Just like the Obama vs Ted Cruz steel cage match scheduled for next week.

Hmm.....

Uh, they only wished Goku back once. The second time they tried he was still alive. The next time he died he wanted to stay dead, and then only came back to life from an act of Kai.

They could have asked Shenron to kill Freeza, because Mr Popo is much more powerful than Freeza.

At least in the abridged series.

[up] But Popo didn't create the dragon, Kami did, which I think still applies in Abridged.

They could have just asked a black hole to swallow Frieza. Freeza. Freezer... Freaky Alien Genotype!

Or something to that effect.

[up][up]Is he?

I remember Shenron calling Popo his master.

That's because Popo is everyone's master.

PECKING ORDER!

I wonder where Shenron ranks on it.

Probably between Popo's stool and Kame.

We know that the dragon can teleport people of any level of strength. So why not teleport someone into a location where they will surely die?

[up] Are we sure about that? Didn't the dragon once try to teleport Goku back to Earth (this is after Namek) and Goku said no?

Yes. The recipient of the teleportation can refuse the request, which means if they tried to teleport Frieza into the sun, Frieza would probably say no.

That's when you get creative.

"No, not the Saiyans themselves. Just their spacecrafts."

"Frieza, do you not not not not not not not not not not not not not not not agree to be hurled into the sun?"

"Umm... no?"

"'K."

And thus Frieza was defeated.

Cooler survived being sent into the sun. Somehow. Then he became a robot.

Surprised they never sent anyone into a Black Hole. There's a really big one in the center of the Milky Way. And nothing escapes from a Black Hole.

He wasn't sent to the center of the sun, just the surface.

The sun is basically just hot air anyway, so I don't see why some of the more ridiculously powerful characters couldn't just be sent through the thing to the other side.

It's air so hot that much of it has ceased to be air, and has broken apart into a plasma.

The villains are strong, but they're still made out of matter.

Some of them have survived the destructions of planets. Most of which have really really hot and really dense materials in them. Also pressurized by gravity. Also slightly radioactive.
