Nah. This is the old battle about age disparity..not about underage sex. One of the better marriages I know of involved a 13 year old gal and a 28 year old man. 40 years later the lady points out that it was a wonderful thing for her...got her out of a life of poverty and launched into a large family and a career. In old age she ended up the primary bread winner supporting him in his maturity.

Maher is pushing at where the line is located...not endorsing pedophilia.

I just watched this clip.

There is no statement, made by him in this clip, where he states or implies that he supported this.

He asked a few challenging questions to his guests and dared to ask them questions that made them think about the case they were discussing.

If you've ever watched him throughout the years, he does this to most of his guests.

Don't be angry b/c he despises Drumpf and the Republican Party and is vocal about it..

Not angry... just sharing info...

For him rape is a one-way street... women can't rape men/boys. He's defending it.

George Takei definitely admitted that he's okay with pedo stuff.

However, this is a reach. I took this more as in "ohh teen kid bangs his hot teacher". It's more of a bad double standard, if anything.

Which, is still bad morally, but...before everything went super PC/SJW, back in high school, that was something that was viewed as "cool".

There was a show called "Life as We Know It" on ABC that had a teen boy having a relationship with his 25 year old teacher back in 2004-2005.

Maher absolutely defended the sexual relationship between a 14 year old male having a sexual relationship with an adult woman if you watch the whole clip, not just this snip in the original post. Maher even says it is impossible for a 14 year old boy to be raped. Actually, the boy was 12 when he was first in a sexual relationship with his 30+ year old female teacher.

Responses here are interesting... did pedophilia get redefined all of a sudden?

If it's gay - it's bad.

If a man violates an underage girl - it's bad.

This is OK because it's an underage boy with a woman?

Bill Maher is a liberal progressive....when he says it, then its o.k. because liberals are known to be open minded and start a debate....LMAO!


I don't know what is the big deal about Milo......Maher in my opinion has bashed all religions and said some nasty stuff, which I defend his right to express it but I don't see anybody demanding to boycott his show or people marching in the streets to cancel his shows and speeches.

You have liberal Hollywood giving an Oscar and a standing ovation to a Director who basically raped a 13 year old girl (anal) and is a fugitive from justice but Milo is the devil? LOL


I think there is a little of double standard here but most of us knew that a long time ago.
