No you can't, because the 'fire extinguisher' would be a politician! God I despise those creatures! The position of head of state would be open to politicall games because politicians would be able to influence the selection!

Why are you saying it would be a politician? It can be anyone. I don't know how they would be more susceptible than current monarchs or heads of state. Like I said, maybe it can be done with a test where the head of state wouldn't be susceptible to political games.


Who else would it be? If the politicians can influence the choice then there is a damn good chance.

Politicians can probably influence the Queen. Actually, if you think about it, the Queen is dangerous. Politicians can impregnate her with an evil clone who is programmed to serve the politicians. When the clone takes over as monarch, he or she shall do the bidding of the politicians. Have you ever watched The Manchurian Candidate? That sort of situation is more likely with a monarch since they are already set up for power (no elections for them) and they sit around in a palace all day (their routine is well known).

That is the dumbest argument ever. Well if it happened in a movie then it must be true! God that was a stupid argument!

The movie was interpreted from a true story! The book it's based on, The Manchurian Candidate Exposed: Queen Elizabeth II, won a Pulitzer Prize.

Well thank you mister conspiracy theorist. A pulitzer prize! Wow! Just like the ones all those xenophobic columnists such as George Will and economic nuts like Thomas Sowell have gotten! Wow!

I was thinking of another situation. What if Satan is real and impregnates the Queen, forever making the rest of the monarchs or head of state Devils or Demons? Have you ever seen The Omen? I think those monarchs could be the anti-christ!!!

Well I'm done. When a discussion about Monarchy v Republic degenerates into an argument about whether or not the Queen has been implanted with evil clones (whatever that means) then its time to call it quits.
