Bill Maher is a bloody hypocrite

Look, i already said that in general i agree with that. I just don't have the grounds to validate or not your claims in terms of brain development, but i find it hard to believe that there aren't overdeveloped 12 year olds when that is an expectable puberty age. But fair enough, i give you the benefit of the doubt.

What i know is that there was a boy and a woman that really wanted to be and have a family together and i can not in my god nature just tell them no, its wrong, even though your bodies and minds seem clealy prepared for it. Why would it happen twice man? If it was a mistake, and she went to prison and i am pretty sure he saw the consequences right there as no doubt judges, lawyers and family no doubt explained extensively, and 2 years later they decided to have another child. I dunno. 

That is why i can't see it just as casual impulse sex as you do. To me, it's clear that there is more to this story and more than upholding some unclear line on morals, i prefer to look at the particular situation itself.

I don't think Mahr endorses pedophilia just because he can see that there is something particular about that case.

You do realize that that teacher was already eyeing that kid even before he was 12.  I believe he was in 2nd grade when she first started showing interest in him.  Talking about how mature he seemed for his age.  The fact is she had some sick fascination with this boy, for whatever reason.  Whatever the reason she told herself, it's wrong.  If it was truly for "love," as some liberals want to say, then she should have felt enough for him to actually allow him to mature to the point where he could make his own decisions. 

But, nope, the second he can achieve an erection, she's jumping on that.  Cheating on her husband and their 4 kids in the process.  She was even going to flee the country, abandoning her husband and children.  That's not love, that's an unhealthy obsession.  And now, she is all that boy (now, a man) knows.  Who knows if he had actually matured enough mentally, he may have found out he wanted someone closer to his age.  Or maybe he still would have wanted her.  Sadly, he was never given that option.

People can try to rationalize with the hippie logic "we can't judge anyone," but that's how criminals and sickos go free.  Luckily, the judicial system doesn't work that way.

Edit: I'm kinda curious if both of them would have been so eager to see their once 12 year old daughters getting knocked up by a 34 year male teacher.  Something tells me I don't think they would just be calling it love.  Then, again, they just may.

Sure, i agree with all that. But why did they go and make another baby 2 years later?
