Boycottford.com


One of the world's biggest car companies, Ford, advocates gay rights in its advertisements. As long as this is quite a support, some do not like this action, rather protest it.

AFA, American Family Association, which is against gay rights, had been complaining about the Ford's attitude since 2005, made a cite Boycottford.com to claim the refusal to buy Ford cars.

They emphasize the effect of their boycott on the web, saying "Ford sales have dropped in 17 of the 19 months since AFA began a boycott of the company."

It reminds us of the fact many people don't appreciate homosexuality, they rather loathe it.

What is "natural"?


Same as cloning piggies and cows, surrogacy and freezing of sperms/eggs are often questioned, or rather accused as "unnatural."
It has a lot to do with our spiritual concern that "things are supposed to happen just the way they do." But when it comes to "natural" or "normal," where should we draw that line?
We change our hairdo, fake our hair color, and put make-ups. We know how to treat a disease, by taking medications and procedures. Abortion has always been discussed as a controversial issue. Should we stop or keep going ?
And most of the all, we wouldn't be such civilized human kinds if we were satisfied the world we had. Some may fear we are reaching the point where god stands, or destroying ourselves with civilization.
The most scary thing is, there is no referee.
