What do you think of SOPA, the proposed Stop Online Piracy Act?

Sound Off: Do You Think SOPA Will Affect Your Relationship?

SOPA would restrict illegal downloads, including the most popular illegal downloads: pornography.

Since our minds are perpetually in the gutter over here, we're curious how SOPA would affect the porn industry. With many illegal-download porn sites out there, would you or your partner's use of it be restricted? Let us know what you think in the comments...

Mitt Romney
Did you/would you vote for Mitt Romney?

Why Do Ladies Love Mitt Romney?

When it comes to presidential candidates, looks and humor matter to singles.

With the Iowa Caucus behind us, the 2012 Republican primaries are well under way. Treading the waters of an election can be strenuous on a new relationship, especially when political views lay on polar opposite ends of the spectrum. But before you yell, "Can't we all just get along?!" know that there are plenty of political ideals that singles do agree on.

Can you imagine slaughtering an animal that is so important to so many people?

Therapy Animals: Companions or Consumption?

The greatness of a nation can be judged by the way its animals are treated. -Mahatma Gandhi

On November 18, 2011, it became legal to slaughter American horses for human consumption in the United States. What?! Americans don’t eat horses. We ride them, groom them, love them, use them in therapy, and make movies about them. Imagine sitting through two hours of War Horse, only to watch "Joey" get slaughtered after his brave and heroic service. Unthinkable? Think again.

Love Or Money At The Iowa Caucuses: Which One Won?
In Iowa precinct 41, Romney won 116 votes.

Love Or Money At The Iowa Caucuses: Which One Won?

For many caucus goers, money was more important than family values.

In the wake of the Iowa caucuses, many pundits are scratching their heads. Favorites like Rick Perry and Newt Gingrich lost to the relative unknown, Rick Santorum, who tied with Mitt Romney at 24% of the vote. But perhaps, the result is less confusing when you look at it from the angle of love and relationships.

Writer Christopher Hitchens died yesterday, Dec. 15, after battling esophageal cancer.

Christopher Hitchens On Porn, Cheating & Women

The late, great Christopher Hitchens had a scathing wit on everything from politics to cheating.

Christopher Hitchens's most valuable asset was his scathing wit. From his famous digs at religion to his humiliating takedown of Sarah Palin — and even some snippy comments aimed at cats — read the brilliant writer's most incendiary jabs.

I hear there are some wild parties in Hell.

What's Worse: Cheating Or Atheism?

The holidays inspire us to think about whether we believe in God. I don't.

As an atheist, it's nice to know that I'm less likely to ever become president than a devout Christian who's cheated on his wife with everything that moves. Hypocrites much? Even as an atheist, I know the Ten Commandments better than some conservative folks.

Do you and your loved one butt heads when it comes to political beliefs?

Do You Love Someone, But Hate Their Politics?

If so, you could become famous. An upcoming docu-drama seeks couples with mixed political beliefs.

Do you love someone who doesn't share your political values? Or perhaps you know an R or a D or an I who is making a life with her opposite number? Purple States is casting red-and-blue couples for a docu-drama that will air in the fall of 2012.

Gentlemen, if you don't share my bleeding heart liberal views, we will not be having sex.

Angry Single Blogger: Why I'll Never Have Sex With A Republican

Except one! There is only ONE Republican I'd have sex with, and he would be worth it.

Note to the male population: If you don't share my bleeding heart liberal views, we will not be having sex. Just something to think about during this pre-election season, which has already bombarded us with incompetent GOP debates and Rick Perry's overtly bizarre behavior. I'm apparently in the minority on this one, however.

Way to go, Herman. But, don't think you're the first.
