Roger Federer is about to become a Dad - Page 2 - DiscussWorldIssues - Socio-Economic Religion and Political Uncensored Debate

**fudelholf** · 12-03-2009, 08:30 PM

In a seminar today, we talked about how more than half of births in many Western European countries are out-of-wedlock and how the number of marriages has gone way down. Amazingly, Switzerland had one of the lowest % for out-of-wedlock births, and I swear I thought about Roger and Mirka not getting married.

Of course, the point here was about the welfare state and the economic incentives people have to marry/have a baby, etc. Don't think this kid's going to have these issues.

Switzerland is very conservative by European standards. Particularly away from large cities (Zurich, Basel and Geneva).

The Swiss are a bunch of primitive cow-killers.

Feder Rat
The Future Mr. Lynch
Nadya Suleman Kidnapping Target (for ransom purposes, of course)
Wonder Pest

Off the top of my head.

But I know Federer fans. They won't settle for anything less than...

The Messiah.

I would think BOAT (Baby of All Time) should suffice?

Be careful - some Swiss posters might be coming after you!

P.S. Did you now that every adult Swiss male citizen under 45 has an assault rifle at home?
