And Taki's enormous fortune comes from where? From a shipping corporation built up by his father, and in which he has never worked a day in his life.

Rather more than the pot calling the kettle black here.

Taki is a truly odious individual.

Taki did NOT marry his father. And the truthor falsity of his words does NOT depend on his social origins.

[The Scourge of Yazid]

I'm always torn between extreme loathing and grudging admiration whenever I think of Taki.

I mean, there's something definitely compelling about living the life of a debauch, heedless of the concerns of others.

Then again, he is a rather repugnant individual, who's basically lived off the earnings of the Greek shipping magnate who was his father.

How do you even say his name? Theodacoropoulos? What the hell does that mean?

[cyncooper]

"Odious"?

Interesting...

So name one thing John Kerry has done in his life that is worthwhile.

I'll wait.

Indeed you are right in your assessment of Taki. He is an odious individual. However, he is still often right. As in this case.
