Can’t find the clip. He was on some British show for Tories. There was some old lady defending the opposing view.
For the record, I don’t delve into the man’s writing, and we may agree on a few points, but this particular point he was being dishonest. That’s all I can recall about it.

Are you talking about his appearance on William F. Buckley Jr.'s Firing Line? You can't be serious. How is that even a schooling if you can't remember his point? No way you're buttertard, even she wasn't this retarded.

Yes. We had a neighbor who everyone called "Malhado" (or "Fit") in our language. He was deeply involved with crime but since he was our neighbor, we talked to him a lot about a lot of things. I was 12 or so at the time. One day me and my friend, who was slightly older, asked Malhado what he did while he was shitting in the bathroom. Malhado said "just shit". My friend then said, "Anon reads while shitting."
They both made fun of me for some months after this. Malhado said that reading, no matter where, was a gay thing to do.
One day Malhado was murdered in front of a trash bin in a parking lot. Some years later my friend became a teenage father.
Now Malhado is dead, and my friend is a wagecuck. As for me, I still read while I shit.

I'd say that reading gives you an advantage. Not because girls get wet over it but because your "verbal intelligence," as it were, increases a lot and you're probably going to be more charismatic (and consequently, more attractive) because of it.

It depends. At (private) high school a lot of kids would spend lunch in the library reading. Reading during morning homeroom etc.
Then I went to a public school and my friends made fun of me for reading work on the whiteboard 'too fast'. Students would flat out refuse to read books for class assignments.

Once in middle school we were playing a game in class called 'honey I love you'. The premise was to sit in a circle with one person in the middle, and the middle person would attempt to get someone to smile, through embarrassment, by saying the phrase and some other lines, and the recipient would have to say a certain phrase back without smiling, else they'd swap into the middle.

Anyway, I was entirely disengaged from this idiocy and just reading a book while it went on, saying my lines when I had to without smiling and then returning to the book. Eventually the hot popular girl comes up to me, I don't smile, go back to reading. She then grabs my book and flings it across the room, sits in my lap with arms around me, and repeats the game. I still didn't smile, bc I was pissed about the probable book damage.

When her antics failed to get a reaction, she and many others made fun of me
