&lt;p&gt;&lt;u&gt;&lt;font size=3&gt;&lt;font face="Times New Roman"&gt;&lt;font color="#008000"&gt;Executive Summary&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/u&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;font face="Times New Roman" color="#008000" size=3&gt;The issue that the question asks essentially is was the enlargement in 2004 good or bad for the E.U as a whole. To answer the question successfully it also requires a look towards future enlargement possibilities. I feel it was important to establish the differences between the latest enlargement and previous rounds of enlargement. It was also important to look at the conditions for letting new countries to join the E.U, to make it clear that it wasn’t and never will be a rash decision to let more countries join the E.U. I then felt it necessary to look at some of the benefits and negative sides to enlargement to give a balanced argument. This also would help me come to a better conclusion.&lt;/font&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;font face="Times New Roman" color="#008000" size=3&gt; &lt;/font&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;font size=3&gt;&lt;font face="Times New Roman"&gt;&lt;font color="#008000"&gt;&lt;span&gt; &lt;/span&gt;For this work I looked at a number of websites and found Theo Hitris’s European Union Economics particularly interesting and helpful.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;u&gt;&lt;span style="text-decoration:none"&gt;&lt;font face="Times New Roman" color="#008000" size=3&gt; &lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/u&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;font size=3&gt;&lt;font face="Times New Roman"&gt;&lt;font color="#008000"&gt;&lt;span&gt;            &lt;/span&gt;My main findings were that although yes there are more challenges with this latest enlargement on the whole I believe it to be a positive happening. It will make the Union larger than N.A.F.T.A (North American Free Trade Agreement) in population terms and in my belief make it more competitive on the world market.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;font face="Times New Roman" color="#008000" size=3&gt; &lt;/font&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;font face="Times New Roman"&gt;&lt;font color="#008000"&gt;&lt;font size=3&gt;&lt;span&gt;            &lt;/span&gt;I also believe it will lead to an ever increasing&lt;/font&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:11.5pt"&gt; ‘zone of peace, stability and prosperity’ that will be good in economic terms because of more F.D.I (Foreign Direct Investment) to every country in the E.U. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;u&gt;&lt;span style="text-decoration:none"&gt;&lt;font face="Times New Roman" color="#008000" size=3&gt; &lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/u&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;font size=3&gt;&lt;font face="Times New Roman"&gt;&lt;font color="#008000"&gt;&lt;span&gt;            &lt;/span&gt;It will also help Europe combat climate change which is very important in my view to the future stability of economies throughout the world. This is a problem that can only be solved by regional institutions like the E.U and therefore the more countries that join the more countries that will accept E.U policies on the environment.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;u&gt;&lt;span style="text-decoration:none"&gt;&lt;font face="Times New Roman" color="#008000" size=3&gt; &lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/u&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;font size=3&gt;&lt;font face="Times New Roman"&gt;&lt;font color="#008000"&gt;&lt;span&gt;            &lt;/span&gt;I therefore come to my conclusion that the latest enlargement isn’t something to be feared instead I argue that it is something to be welcomed. I rest my belief in this on the arguments above and also in my opinion free trade between more countries will lead to economic growth throughout the region.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;u&gt;&lt;span style="text-decoration:none"&gt;&lt;font face="Times New Roman" color="#008000" size=3&gt; &lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/u&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font face="Times New Roman" color="#008000" size=3&gt; &lt;/font&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;font size=3&gt;&lt;font face="Times New Roman"&gt;&lt;font color="#008000"&gt;&lt;span&gt;            &lt;/span&gt;As the question above implies enlargement is not a new thing within the E.U. It has happened five times before this previous round in 2004. The first countries to join were in 1973 when Britain, Ireland and Denmark joined. There were further enlargements in 1981 when Greece joined, in 1986 when Spain and Portugal joined, and in 1995 when Austria, Sweden and Finland joined. The latest enlargement includes 10 countries which is a significantly larger number of new countries. The new countries are Poland, Czech Republic, Hungary, Slovenia, Estonia, Lithuania, Latvia, Malta, Cyprus and Slovakia. The future candidates include Croatia and Romania in 2007 and possibly Turkey in the future. So should we be worried at this latest enlargement and will it be more challenging than the previous occasions of enlargement. Those are a few of the questions I will be answering.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;font face="Times New Roman" color="#008000" size=3&gt; &lt;/font&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;font size=3&gt;&lt;font face="Times New Roman"&gt;&lt;font color="#008000"&gt;Subsection 1.1 – &lt;u&gt;Differences in this enlargement.&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;font face="Times New Roman" color="#008000" size=3&gt;            &lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;font face="Times New Roman" color="#008000" size=3&gt;There are a number of reasons why this latest enlargement is different from previous enlargements. Firstly a large number of the new member states were Communist states and therefore restructuring their economies from command orientated to market orientated economies since the collapse of the Soviet Union in early 1990. It’s therefore reasonable to say they are relatively new to the capitalist system for this reasons this newest phase of enlargement will be particularly challenging. As &lt;/font&gt;&lt;a title="" href="http://spaces.msn.com/mmm2006-03-23_17.22/#_ftn1"&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:12pt;font-family:'Times New Roman'"&gt;&lt;u&gt;&lt;font color="#008000"&gt;[1]&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;font face="Times New Roman" color="#008000" size=3&gt;Hitris explains,&lt;/font&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;font face="Times New Roman" color="#008000" size=3&gt; &lt;/font&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;font size=3&gt;&lt;font face="Times New Roman"&gt;&lt;font color="#008000"&gt;&lt;span&gt;            &lt;/span&gt;‘The problem however, is that the economic, political institutional and administrative levels of development of most of the applicant states are far lower than the E.U average.’&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;u&gt;&lt;span style="text-decoration:none"&gt;&lt;font face="Times New Roman" color="#008000" size=3&gt; &lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/u&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;u&gt;&lt;span style="text-decoration:none"&gt;&lt;font face="Times New Roman" color="#008000" size=3&gt; &lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/u&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;font face="Times New Roman" color="#008000" size=3&gt;            &lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;font face="Times New Roman" color="#008000" size=3&gt;However it should be noted here that the E.U has a number of conditions states must achieve before they can become members. I would argue that this in itself safeguard’s the E.U against future problems and makes enlargement a much smoother process. The political conditions for joining are Acquis communautaire. Meaning there must be stability of institutions guaranteeing democracy, the rule of law, human rights and respect and protection of minorities. The economic conditions are the existence of a functioning market economy and the capacity to cope with competitive pressures and market forces within the Union.&lt;/font&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;font size=3&gt;&lt;font face="Times New Roman"&gt;&lt;font color="#008000"&gt;&lt;span&gt;            &lt;/span&gt;The new member states were also told to reduce involvement in the economy while dismantling monopolies, removing trade restraints, and developing flexible labour markets. All of these measures should lead to a smooth integration in my view.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;u&gt;&lt;span style="text-decoration:none"&gt;&lt;font face="Times New Roman" color="#008000" size=3&gt; &lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/u&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font size=3&gt;&lt;font face="Times New Roman"&gt;&lt;font color="#008000"&gt;&lt;span&gt;            &lt;/span&gt;The E.U has also considered its ability to absorb new members this was particularly important in the latest enlargement because of the large number of new countries joining on the same date (10 new members). Therefore the future financial framework and the current and future performance of each candidate was taken into account and predicted methodically. From this we can conclude that even though the recent enlargement will be challenging there is no reason to fear it will be a failure and I believe that there is sufficient reason to belief it will be a success.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;u&gt;&lt;span style="text-decoration:none"&gt;&lt;font face="Times New Roman" color="#008000" size=3&gt; &lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/u&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;u&gt;&lt;font size=3&gt;&lt;font face="Times New Roman"&gt;&lt;font color="#008000"&gt;Sections 3 - What enlargement does to the demographic of the E.U.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/u&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;font face="Times New Roman" color="#008000" size=3&gt;            &lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;font face="Times New Roman"&gt;&lt;font color="#008000"&gt;&lt;font size=3&gt;Firstly the total GNP of the E.U will increase by about 10% after Romania and Croatia join and if Turkey joins. The E.U population will rise nearly 30% making an E.U total of 550 million which would make it a bigger free market than NAFTA. This in terms of overall G.D.P is its biggest competitor. NATFA has a population of 430,000 million, even without the inclusion of Turkey, Croatia and Romania the E.U in its present form is still bigger with a population of 460,000 million. The E.U total G.D.P is &lt;/font&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:11.5pt"&gt;11,723,816 million while NAFTA has a total G.D.P of 12,889,900. From this I would conclude that enlargement and Integration is the best way for the E.U to close the cap with NAFTA and stay competitive in the truly global economy that has developed. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:11.5pt"&gt;&lt;font face="Times New Roman" color="#008000"&gt; &lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:11.5pt"&gt;&lt;font face="Times New Roman"&gt;&lt;font color="#008000"&gt;Figures from www.Wikipedia.com&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;u&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:11.5pt"&gt;&lt;span style="text-decoration:none"&gt;&lt;font face="Times New Roman" color="#008000"&gt; &lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/u&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;u&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:11.5pt"&gt;&lt;font face="Times New Roman"&gt;&lt;font color="#008000"&gt;Section 4 - Benefits of Enlargement.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/u&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:11.5pt"&gt;&lt;font face="Times New Roman"&gt;&lt;font color="#008000"&gt;&lt;span&gt;            &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:11.5pt"&gt;&lt;font face="Times New Roman"&gt;&lt;font color="#008000"&gt;There are many benefits that happen because of enlargement. First of all &lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:11.5pt"&gt;&lt;font face="Times New Roman" color="#008000"&gt; &lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;a title="" href="http://spaces.msn.com/mmm2006-03-23_17.22/#_ftn2"&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:11.5pt"&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:11.5pt;font-family:'Times New Roman'"&gt;&lt;u&gt;&lt;font color="#008000"&gt;[2]&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:11.5pt"&gt;&lt;font face="Times New Roman"&gt;&lt;font color="#008000"&gt;‘The extension of the zone of peace, stability and prosperity.’&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:11.5pt"&gt;&lt;font face="Times New Roman" color="#008000"&gt; &lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:11.5pt"&gt;&lt;font face="Times New Roman"&gt;&lt;font color="#008000"&gt;&lt;span&gt; &lt;/span&gt;This is not just a political benefit. Countries of the E.U have not experienced war between member states this is good for the economy. Peaceful and Stable countries will get more F.D.I because the risk associated with investing is lower. For this reason enlargement will lead to economic growth in the new member countries and in the long run the whole of the E.U.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:11.5pt"&gt;&lt;font face="Times New Roman" color="#008000"&gt; &lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:11.5pt"&gt;&lt;font face="Times New Roman"&gt;&lt;font color="#008000"&gt;&lt;span&gt;            &lt;/span&gt;Another reason why the enlargement of the new countries is a good thing is that these new countries have rapidly growing economies growing at a faster rate than the E.U average. This growth will lead to less unemployment which will fuel growth again.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:11.5pt"&gt;&lt;font face="Times New Roman" color="#008000"&gt; &lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:11.5pt"&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;font face="Times New Roman" color="#008000"&gt;            &lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;a title="" href="http://spaces.msn.com/mmm2006-03-23_17.22/#_ftn3"&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:11.5pt;font-family:'Times New Roman'"&gt;&lt;u&gt;&lt;font color="#008000"&gt;[3]&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;font face="Times New Roman"&gt;&lt;font color="#008000"&gt;‘There will be a better quality of life for citizens throughout Europe as the new members adopt E.U policies for protection of the environment and the fight against crime, drugs and illegal immigration.’&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:11.5pt"&gt;&lt;font face="Times New Roman" color="#008000"&gt; &lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:11.5pt"&gt;&lt;font face="Times New Roman"&gt;&lt;font color="#008000"&gt;All the things listed above can hamper economic growth and policies on the environment are of most importance if the economy is going to succeed in the long run. Environmental pollution doesn’t stop at borders so the only efficient way to deal with it is through regional institutions like the E.U and so enlargement is the way forward.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;u&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:11.5pt"&gt;&lt;span style="text-decoration:none"&gt;&lt;font face="Times New Roman" color="#008000"&gt; &lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/u&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;u&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:11.5pt"&gt;&lt;font face="Times New Roman"&gt;&lt;font color="#008000"&gt;Subsection 4.1 - Benefits at work before the countries joined.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/u&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:11.5pt"&gt;&lt;font face="Times New Roman" color="#008000"&gt; &lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:11.5pt"&gt;&lt;font face="Times New Roman" color="#008000"&gt;The benefits in the new countries are already visible and were even visible before enlargement. The economic reforms in these countries have led to high rates of economic growth higher than the E.U and better employment prospects. This process was helped and encouraged by the prospect of E.U Membership. This has resulted in the original member countries the E.U15 enjoying growing trade with the new member states resulting in a &lt;/font&gt;&lt;a title="" href="http://spaces.msn.com/mmm2006-03-23_17.22/#_ftn4"&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:11.5pt;font-family:'Times New Roman'"&gt;&lt;u&gt;&lt;font color="#008000"&gt;[4]&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;font face="Times New Roman"&gt;&lt;font color="#008000"&gt;€17 billion surplus by 2000, and this generates employment and growth throughout the E.U.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:11.5pt"&gt;&lt;font face="Times New Roman" color="#008000"&gt; &lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;u&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:11.5pt"&gt;&lt;font face="Times New Roman"&gt;&lt;font color="#008000"&gt;Section 5 - The negative side of enlargement.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/u&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:11.5pt"&gt;&lt;font face="Times New Roman"&gt;&lt;font color="#008000"&gt;&lt;span&gt;            &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:11.5pt"&gt;&lt;font face="Times New Roman" color="#008000"&gt;On the other hand there are commentators who disagree that this enlargement will have a positive effect in economic terms and some go as far as saying it will do more damage than good. &lt;/font&gt;&lt;a title="" href="http://spaces.msn.com/mmm2006-03-23_17.22/#_ftn5"&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:11.5pt;font-family:'Times New Roman'"&gt;&lt;u&gt;&lt;font color="#008000"&gt;[5]&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;font face="Times New Roman"&gt;&lt;font color="#008000"&gt;Subacchi said,&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:11.5pt"&gt;&lt;font face="Times New Roman" color="#008000"&gt; &lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:11.5pt"&gt;&lt;font face="Times New Roman"&gt;&lt;font color="#008000"&gt;&lt;span&gt;            &lt;/span&gt;‘The enlargement has a large political significance, but its impact in economic terms is marginal.’&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:11.5pt"&gt;&lt;font face="Times New Roman" color="#008000"&gt; &lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:11.5pt"&gt;&lt;font face="Times New Roman" color="#008000"&gt;The enlargement has come at a time when forecasts for strong economic growth in the E.U especially since the creation of Euro zone have consistently ended in disappointments. &lt;/font&gt;&lt;a title="" href="http://spaces.msn.com/mmm2006-03-23_17.22/#_ftn6"&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:11.5pt;font-family:'Times New Roman'"&gt;&lt;u&gt;&lt;font color="#008000"&gt;[6]&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;font face="Times New Roman"&gt;&lt;font color="#008000"&gt;Subacchi said this was due to cyclical downturn and structural problems in the economies of France, Germany and Italy which are key players in the region. The implications of this are that enlargement has come at the wrong time and that the E.U won’t be able to cope with these new countries resulting in lower economic growth across the E.U.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:11.5pt"&gt;&lt;font face="Times New Roman" color="#008000"&gt; &lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;u&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:11.5pt"&gt;&lt;font face="Times New Roman"&gt;&lt;font color="#008000"&gt;Subsection5.1 - Problems with G.D.P per head.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/u&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:11.5pt"&gt;&lt;font face="Times New Roman"&gt;&lt;font color="#008000"&gt;&lt;span&gt;            &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:11.5pt"&gt;&lt;font face="Times New Roman"&gt;&lt;font color="#008000"&gt;Another problem is that the average GNP per head of the E.U will reduce considerably. Many of the newest members or future candidates like Poland, Turkey and Romania and have big agricultural sectors. This sector contributes a large share to national income and employs a substantial share of the working population. &lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;a title="" href="http://spaces.msn.com/mmm2006-03-23_17.22/#_ftn7"&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:11.5pt"&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:11.5pt;font-family:'Times New Roman'"&gt;&lt;u&gt;&lt;font color="#008000"&gt;[7]&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:11.5pt"&gt;&lt;font face="Times New Roman"&gt;&lt;font color="#008000"&gt;‘But in general displaying low productivity and supplying low quality output relative to E.U standards.’&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:11.5pt"&gt;&lt;font face="Times New Roman" color="#008000"&gt; &lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:11.5pt"&gt;&lt;font face="Times New Roman"&gt;&lt;font color="#008000"&gt;&lt;span&gt; &lt;/span&gt;These are the countries that you would expect to benefit the most from CAP. But these countries will only get 25% of the subsides that the original E.U members get and will have wait a decade before the subside becomes equal. For this reason the income cap between the eastern European countries and the western European countries will not be closed in the near future.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:11.5pt"&gt;&lt;font face="Times New Roman"&gt;&lt;font color="#008000"&gt;&lt;span&gt;            &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:11.5pt"&gt;&lt;font face="Times New Roman"&gt;&lt;font color="#008000"&gt;It’s for a number of reasons as I have noted above that many commentators have argued that the accession of so many different countries is bound to dilute the cohesion of the E.U and to decelerate its progress towards economic integration.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:11.5pt"&gt;&lt;font face="Times New Roman" color="#008000"&gt; &lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:11.5pt"&gt;&lt;font face="Times New Roman" color="#008000"&gt; &lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:11.5pt"&gt;&lt;font face="Times New Roman" color="#008000"&gt;But as &lt;/font&gt;&lt;a title="" href="http://spaces.msn.com/mmm2006-03-23_17.22/#_ftn8"&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:11.5pt;font-family:'Times New Roman'"&gt;&lt;u&gt;&lt;font color="#008000"&gt;[8]&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;font face="Times New Roman" color="#008000"&gt;Hitris argues for E.U the new countries share in its total trade was 14% in 2000 making them added together the Union’s second biggest trading partner after the United States. For this reason enlargement and integration was a rational and logical step in my opinion and with the benefits of free trade will lad to better prosperity for the whole of the new E.U. As &lt;/font&gt;&lt;a title="" href="http://spaces.msn.com/mmm2006-03-23_17.22/#_ftn9"&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:11.5pt;font-family:'Times New Roman'"&gt;&lt;u&gt;&lt;font color="#008000"&gt;[9]&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;font face="Times New Roman"&gt;&lt;font color="#008000"&gt;Hitris puts it&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:11.5pt"&gt;&lt;font face="Times New Roman" color="#008000"&gt; &lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:11.5pt"&gt;&lt;font face="Times New Roman"&gt;&lt;font color="#008000"&gt;‘In general integration boosts development by expanding the set of opportunities facing consumers and firms… enlargement will expand these opportunities to the candidates and new members.’&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:11.5pt"&gt;&lt;font face="Times New Roman" color="#008000"&gt; &lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:11.5pt"&gt;&lt;font face="Times New Roman"&gt;&lt;font color="#008000"&gt;This in my view will lead to greater competition which almost in every case leads to better efficiency and for me will lead to economic growth. For these reasons enlargement was the right step to take.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:11.5pt"&gt;&lt;font face="Times New Roman" color="#008000"&gt; &lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;

&lt;div&gt;In this world, we strive for our 15 minutes of fame, now you can effect people in every walk of life, anytime, anywhere! However, the results may not be positive. Collected inside are ways to annoy people. Things you know people do that are truly funny!&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;Originally this was a list of things to do to measure your insanity.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;table&gt;

&lt;tr&gt;
&lt;td colspan=3&gt;
&lt;ol&gt;
&lt;li&gt;As often as possible, skip rather than walk. 
&lt;li&gt;Ask people what sex they are. Laugh hysterically after they answer. 
&lt;li&gt;At lunch time, sit in your parked car with sunglasses on and point a hair dryer at passing cars. See if they slow down. 
&lt;li&gt;Don't use any punctuation marks 
&lt;li&gt;Every time someone asks you to do something, ask if they want fries with that. 
&lt;li&gt;Finish all your sentences with &amp;quot;in accordance with the prophecy.&amp;quot; 
&lt;li&gt;Five days in advance, tell your friends you can't attend their party because you're not in the mood. 
&lt;li&gt;Go to a poetry recital and ask why the poems don't rhyme. 
&lt;li&gt;Have your coworkers address you by your wrestling name, Rock Hard Kim. 
&lt;li&gt;In the memo field of all your checks, write &amp;quot;for sexual favors&amp;quot;. 
&lt;li&gt;Page yourself over the intercom. Don't disguise your voice. 
&lt;li&gt;Put decaf in the coffee maker for 3 weeks. Once everyone has gotten over their caffeine addictions, switch to espresso. 
&lt;li&gt;Put mosquito netting around your work area. Play a tape of jungle sounds all day. 
&lt;li&gt;Put your garbage can on your desk and label it &amp;quot;in&amp;quot; 
&lt;li&gt;Sing along at the opera. 
&lt;li&gt;Specify that your drive-through order is &amp;quot;to go&amp;quot;. 
&lt;li&gt;Tell your children over dinner. &amp;quot;due to the economy, we are going to have to let one of you go.&amp;quot; 
&lt;li&gt;When leaving the zoo, start running towards the parking lot, yelling &amp;quot;run for your lives, they're loose!!&amp;quot; 
&lt;li&gt;When the money comes out of the ATM, scream I won!&amp;quot;, &amp;quot;I won!&amp;quot; &amp;quot;3rd time this week!!!!!&amp;quot; &lt;/ol&gt;&lt;/tbody&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;img src="http://c.services.spaces.live.com/CollectionWebService/c.gif?cid=3774989677777134617&amp;page=RSS%3a+PressAnyKey+-+How+to+be+generally+annoying&amp;referrer=" width="1px" height="1px" border="0" alt=""&gt;&lt;img style="position:absolute" alt="" width="0px" height="0px" src="http://c.live.com/c.gif?NC=31263&amp;amp;NA=1149&amp;amp;PI=73329&amp;amp;RF=&amp;amp;DI=3919&amp;amp;PS=85545&amp;amp;TP=canariesrule.spaces.live.com&amp;amp;GT1=canariesrule"&gt;</description><category>Entertainment</category><comments>http://canariesrule.spaces.live.com/Blog/cns!3463751C76AC2419!219.entry#comment</comments><guid isPermaLink="true">http://canariesrule.spaces.live.com/Blog/cns!3463751C76AC2419!219.entry</guid><pubDate>Fri, 27 Jan 2006 00:44:33 GMT</pubDate><slash:comments>0</slash:comments><msn:type>blogentry</msn:type><live:type>blogentry</live:type><live:typelabel>Blog entry</live:typelabel><wfw:commentRss>http://canariesrule.spaces.live.com/blog/cns!3463751C76AC2419!219/comments/feed.rss</wfw:commentRss><wfw:comment>http://canariesrule.spaces.live.com/Blog/cns!3463751C76AC2419!219.entry#comment</wfw:comment><dcterms:modified>2006-01-27T00:44:33Z</dcterms:modified></item><item><title>Traethawd arall</title><link>http://canariesrule.spaces.live.com/Blog/cns!3463751C76AC2419!216.entry</link><description>&lt;div&gt;

&lt;p style=""&gt;&lt;span lang=CY style=""&gt;&lt;font size=3&gt;&lt;font face="Times New Roman"&gt;&lt;font color="#ff6600"&gt;‘Cysyniad ideolegol yw Imperialaeth sydd yn cuddio realiti pŵer yn yr ugeinfed &lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;p style=""&gt;&lt;span lang=CY style=""&gt;&lt;font size=3&gt;&lt;font face="Times New Roman"&gt;&lt;font color="#ff6600"&gt;ganrif ar ddeg’ . (Martin Shaw) Ydych chi’n cytuno.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;p style=""&gt;&lt;span lang=CY style=""&gt;&lt;font size=3&gt;&lt;font face="Times New Roman"&gt;&lt;font color="#ff6600"&gt;Trafodir y traethawd yma y thema Imperialaeth. Rwyf wedi edrych ar y wahanol fathau o Imperialaeth ai achosion a hefyd sut mae wedi newid. Yn ogystal i hyn rwyf yn trafod a oedd a hefyd a yw imperialaeth yn rhywbeth i’w groesawu neu’n rhywbeth i’w ofni. Y cwestiwn allweddol yw ai oherwydd Ideoleg neu oherwydd safle pŵer y mae gwlad yn ymddwyn yn imperialaidd. Rwyf yn dod ir casgliad y bod imperialaeth newydd America yn ideolegol a bod hyn yn rhywbeth i’w ofni oherwydd ei bod yn creu rhyfel ideolegol rhwng Islam ar Gorllewin ac mae hyn yn magu Terfysgwyr.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;p style="text-indent:36pt"&gt;&lt;span lang=CY style=""&gt;&lt;font face="Times New Roman" color="#ff6600" size=3&gt; &lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;p style="text-indent:36pt"&gt;&lt;span lang=CY style=""&gt;&lt;font size=3&gt;&lt;font face="Times New Roman"&gt;&lt;font color="#ff6600"&gt;Mae’r gosodiad uchod yn dweud mae rhywbeth ideolegol yw Imperialaeth sy’n anwybyddu y ffaith mae pŵer sydd yn wir penderfynu sut mae gwledydd yn ymddwyn. Er mwyn ateb y cwestiwn rwyf am edrych ar beth yw Imperialaeth, sut mae wedi newid a hefyd er mwyn ateb y cwestiwn yn gyflawn edrych ar, ai dim ond realiti pŵer sy’n gwneud i gwledydd actio yn Imperialaidd. Yn syml imperialaeth yw pan mae gwlad yn ennill dylanwad mewn gwlad arall unai mewn ffyrdd gwleidyddol neu economaidd a mae rhai yn dadlau y gellir hyd yn oed cael imperialaeth diwylliannol. Gall dylanwad yma fod mor uchel a bod rheolaeth cyfan – gwbl o sofraniaeth gwlad yn cael ei ddal gan y wlad imperialaidd.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;p style=""&gt;&lt;span lang=CY style=""&gt;&lt;font face="Times New Roman" color="#ff6600" size=3&gt; &lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;p style="text-indent:36pt"&gt;&lt;span lang=CY style=""&gt;&lt;font size=3&gt;&lt;font face="Times New Roman"&gt;&lt;font color="#ff6600"&gt;Er hyn dros amser mae’r syniad o Imperialaeth wedi newid cryn dipyn. Cychwyn y ganrif diwethaf roedd gwlad heb tiriogaethau dramor ddim yn wlad pwerus iawn. Roedd gan yr holl pwerau mawrion ei trefedigaethau e.e. Prydain, Ffrainc ar Almaen. Yn wir un o’r brif rhesymau ir pwerau mawr gael ymerodraethau oedd ei bod angen y pŵer er mwyn cystadlu rhwng y pwerau mawr eraill yn Ewrop. Byddai hyn felly yn cytuno ar gosodiad mae pŵer oedd yn bwysig ac nid yr angen ideolegol ar wledydd Ewrop i wella y trydydd byd oedd imperialaeth. Ond yn eithaf sydyn oherwydd canlyniadau yr ail rhyfel byd fe diflannodd yr hen fath o Imperialaeth a fe dyfodd Cenedlaetholdeb a annibyniaeth.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;p style=""&gt;&lt;span lang=CY style=""&gt;&lt;font face="Times New Roman" color="#ff6600" size=3&gt; &lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;p style="text-indent:36pt"&gt;&lt;font size=3&gt;&lt;font face="Times New Roman"&gt;&lt;font color="#ff6600"&gt;&lt;span lang=CY style=""&gt;Yn awr fe sonnir am Imperialaeth mwy mewn termau o America yn ymyrryd ac yn estyn ei dylanwad dros y byd. Mae llawer yn gweld hyn fel post &lt;/span&gt;cold&lt;span lang=CY style=""&gt; war &lt;/span&gt;imperialism&lt;span lang=CY style=""&gt;. Yn syml U.D.A a enillodd y rhyfel oer ac o ganlyniad, hi oedd yr unig brif bŵer sydd ar ôl . Felly mae wedi defnyddio ei dylanwad i fachu gymaint o enillion ag y gallai. Byddai hyn eto felly yn cytuno hefo’r gosodiad mai oherwydd ei safle pŵer y mae America wedi ymddwyn yn imperialaidd ac nid am rhesymau ideolegol dwfn.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;
&lt;p style="text-indent:36pt"&gt;&lt;span lang=CY style=""&gt;&lt;font face="Times New Roman" color="#ff6600" size=3&gt; &lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;p style="text-indent:36pt"&gt;&lt;span lang=CY style=""&gt;&lt;font size=3&gt;&lt;font face="Times New Roman"&gt;&lt;font color="#ff6600"&gt;Er hyn mae yna wahaniaeth mawr rhwng Imperialaeth America a imperialaeth y pwerau Ewropeaidd yn y ganrif diwethaf. Roedd y gwledydd Ewropeaidd eisiau cael y tiriogaethau er mwyn rheoli ei heconomi ai diwydiant er mwyn cael marchnadoedd i’w nwyddau nhw. Roeddent hefyd eisiau cau gwledydd eraill allan o’r farchnad rhwng y gwlad imperialaidd ar gwledydd o fewn yr ymerodraeth. Roedd hyn yn cael ei galw yn mercantiliaeth. Ond bellach mae consensws ymhlith economegwyr y bod marchnata rhydd yn creu fwy o prynu a gwerthu trwy’r holl fyd a felly bod bob gwlad yn derbyn buddion masnach rhydd. Dyma be mae America wir eisiau. Mae’n foddhaol i ddweud nad yw hi yn ofni i wledydd eraill ddatblygu yn economaidd ac mae wedi ar sawl achos helpu i wledydd ffynnu. Byddaf yn sôn am rhain nes ymlaen ond yn gyntaf rhaid edrych ar beth yw syniadau Marcsiaeth am Imperialaeth.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;p style="text-indent:36pt"&gt;&lt;span lang=CY style=""&gt;&lt;font face="Times New Roman" color="#ff6600" size=3&gt; &lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;p style="text-indent:36pt"&gt;&lt;span lang=CY style=""&gt;&lt;font size=3&gt;&lt;font face="Times New Roman"&gt;&lt;font color="#ff6600"&gt;Ni wnaeth Karl Marx&lt;span style=""&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;gyhoeddi Theori am Imperialaeth, ond mi wnaeth sôn am coloneiddio. Yn enwedig am rheolaeth Prydain dros Iwerddon a India. Ond mae’r rhan fwyaf o Farcswyr yn gweld Imperialaeth fel y wnaeth Lenin sef ‘the highest stage of capitalism’ Golygai hyn bod&lt;span style=""&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;Cyfalafiaeth yn gwneud i wledydd bihafio mewn ffordd Imperialaidd oherwydd yr angen i gael marchnadoedd i gwerthu nwyddau ac yr angen i fod yn berchen ar adnoddau o wledydd tramor. Oherwydd hyn gellir dweud bod Theori Marcsiaeth yn wahanol o’i gymharu a theorïau eraill yn y ffaith ei fod yn canolbwyntio ar y rhesymau economaidd dros imperialaeth. Mae’r Marcswyr yn dadlau mai prif rheswm dros fod yn imperialaidd yw er mwyn exploitio gwlad yn economaidd. Gellir dadlau yn erbyn hyn oherwydd nid yw Imperialaeth wedi’i gyfyngu yn unig i wledydd gyfalafol oherwydd mi roedd yr Undeb Sofietaidd a oedd yn comiwnyddol hefyd yn wlad imperialaidd. Roedd yr Undeb Sofietaidd eisiau dylanwad yn Hwngari, Tsiecoslofacia a Gwlad Pwyl er mwyn diogelu ei ffin gorllewinol. Felly mae dadl yma mae nid jyst ffactorau economaidd sy’n achosi imperialaeth ond hefyd ffactorau gwleidyddol. Byddai hyn hefyd felly yn dangos mai nid cysyniad ideolegol yw Imperialaeth oherwydd bod gwledydd o ideolegau gwbl gwahanol o comiwnyddiaeth i cyfalafiaeth yn gweithredu yn imperialaidd. Gellir felly dadlau y nad yw ideoleg yn cuddio realiti pŵer Imperialaeth, mae’r dadl yma felly yn anghytuno ar gosodiad Martin Shaw.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;p style="text-indent:36pt"&gt;&lt;span lang=CY style=""&gt;&lt;font face="Times New Roman" color="#ff6600" size=3&gt; &lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;p style="text-indent:36pt"&gt;&lt;span lang=CY style=""&gt;&lt;font size=3&gt;&lt;font face="Times New Roman"&gt;&lt;font color="#ff6600"&gt;Gellir mynd a hyn ymhellach trwy ddweud y bod cael trefedigaethau yn gallu bod yn gostus iawn ir gwledydd imperialaidd.

Mae Marcswyr nawr yn gweld Globaleiddio fel rhyw fath o imperialaeth newydd. Yn enwedig bod diwylliant Americanaidd yn treiddio drwy’r byd i gyd. Mae hyn yn wahanol i’r athroniaeth traddodiadol mai cael tiroedd tramor er mwyn adeiladu Ymerodraeth oedd Imperialaidd.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;

Roedd hyn oherwydd bod y gwledydd imperialaidd yn rhwystro y gwledydd tlawd rhag diwydiannu.&lt;span style=""&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;Gellir cyfiawnhau hyn trwy gweld yr tyfiant economaidd sydd wedi digwydd yno yn y 10 mlynedd diwethaf, ac o fewn y ugain mlynedd nesaf mi fydd India yn un o economïau mwyaf yn y byd.

E.e. yn de Korea, oherwydd bod Gogledd Korea dal yn gomiwnyddol mae America wedi buddsoddi miloedd o ddoleri yn De Korea er mwyn dangos i Gogledd Korea mae&lt;span style=""&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;Cyfalafiaeth yw’r ffordd gorau. Mae hyn wedi bod yn fuddiol iawn i De Korea ac mae’r gwlad wedi ffynnu yn economaidd yn sylweddol. A felly yn yr achos yma mae Imperialaeth America wedi bod yn fuddiol dros ben i bobl De Korea sydd wedi cael safon byw uwch ar gyfartaledd. Mae rhywbeth tebyg i hyn wedi digwydd yn Gwlad Pwyl hefyd ar ôl dymchweliad yr Undeb Sofietaidd. Mae’r achos yma yn cytuno mai cysyniad ideolegol yn bennaf yw imperialaidd sef bod America eisiau dangos bod ei ideoleg gyfalafol, yn yr achos yma i Gogledd Korea, yw’r ffordd oraf o rhedeg economi. Byddai hyn felly yn cytuno hefo gosodiad Martin Shaw.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;

Byddai hyn yn plethu mewn hefo’r syniad o &lt;/span&gt;“White Man’s Burden”&lt;span lang=CY style=""&gt;. Er bod y rhan fwyaf o bobl bellach a fi yn bersonol yn gweld hyn yn gyfan gwbl annerbyniol a hiliol ar cychwyn yr ganrif diwethaf mi roedd yna gefnogaeth i hyn. Mae Barkan&lt;sup&gt;3&lt;/sup&gt; yn dweud y canlynol,&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;
&lt;p style=""&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt;&lt;font face="Times New Roman" color="#ff6600" size=3&gt;            &lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;a title="" style="" href="http://spaces.msn.com/mmm2005-11-01_10.54/#_ftn3"&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span style="color:white"&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:12pt;color:white;font-family:'Times New Roman'"&gt;&lt;u&gt;&lt;font color="#ff6600"&gt;[3]&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="color:white"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;p style="text-indent:36pt"&gt;&lt;font face="Times New Roman" color="#ff6600" size=3&gt;‘ For example, at the turn of the century everyone, including members of groups that were classified as inferior, accepted the ranking of human races along a superiority and inferiority scale as a scientific fact(“truth”). Such a view informed policies like imperialism and the “white man’s burden”. Similarly, during the American western expansion, while certain ex-cesses were criticized, there was no challenge to the principle of expansion and the uprooting of Native Americans.’&lt;/font&gt;
&lt;p style=""&gt;&lt;span lang=CY style=""&gt;&lt;font face="Times New Roman" color="#ff6600" size=3&gt; &lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;

Roedd y bobl yma hefyd&lt;span style=""&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;yn defnyddio y ddadl crefyddol i gyfiawnhau imperialaidd. Sef bod hi’n gyfiawn ymddwyn yn imperialaidd er mwyn i wledydd ‘barbaraidd’ cael dysgu am Dduw. Byddai hyn felly yn anghytuno a be mae Shaw yn ei ddweud mae pŵer oedd yn gwneud i wledydd ymddwyn yn imperialaidd, gan mai’r dadl yma yw mai allan o ddyletswydd y roedd gwledydd Ewrop a America yn ymddwyn yn imperialaidd. I mi mae yna cyswllt yma rhwng y math o imperialaeth clasurol yma ar math o imperialaeth newydd y mae George Bush yn ei arwain. Mae hyn yn arwain at fy mhwynt nesaf.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;

&lt;p style="text-indent:36pt"&gt;&lt;span lang=CY style=""&gt;&lt;font size=3&gt;&lt;font face="Times New Roman"&gt;&lt;font color="#ff6600"&gt;Mae rhai yn credu bod angen i America defnyddio eu pŵer Imperialaidd mewn ffyrdd mwy na economaidd. Mae rhai yn defnyddio y ddadl yma i gyfiawnhau rhyfel yn Iraq. Y ddadl ydi y dylai America defnyddio ei grym milwrol i wasgaru democratiaeth drwy’r byd. Y theori ydi bod gwledydd democrataidd y mae rhai yn dadlau yn a’n aml neu byth yn rhyfela yn erbyn ei gilydd. A felly er mwyn cael heddwch bell gyrhaeddol rhaid i holl wledydd y byd fod yn ddemocrataidd. Byddai hyn felly yn awgrymu y bod Imperialaeth yn gysyniad ideolegol ai fod wedi’w guddio gan realiti pŵer yr Americanwyr gyda’i syniad mawr i ddemocrateiddio’r holl fyd.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;

Gwelir nifer o wledydd hyn fel math newydd o imperialaeth. Fel y dywedir Martin Shaw mae llawer ar y chwith yn wrth – imperialaidd ond mae hyn yn golygu ei bod yn gorfod anwybyddu anghyfiawnder mewn rhai mannau o’r byd. Dadleuir Shaw bod hi’n gyfrifoldeb arnom i weithredu a helpu y bobl hyn sydd o dan orthrwm gwledydd authoritarian. Mae Shaw felly yn galw am fwy o ymddwyn yn imperialaidd gan yr U.D.A er mwyn helpu gwladwriaethau sydd wedi methu. Ond mae imperialaeth wedi creu problemau yn y gorffennol.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;

Roedd Crosby yn dadlau bod gwledydd a cafwyd ei coloneiddio nid yn unig wedi dioddef newid yn ei canolfannau gwleidyddol, cymdeithasol a diwylliannol ond hefyd yr effaith amgylcheddol.

Mae hyn yn cytuno a gosodiad Shaw gan ei fod yn dangos mae realiti pŵer Ewrop yn y cyfnod yma ai gallu i ddominyddu dros Affrica oedd y rheswm bod imperialaeth &lt;/span&gt;ecological &lt;span lang=CY style=""&gt;yn yr achos yma wedi digwydd.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;

Ond mae’r syniad o America fel rhyw wlad sydd am ddemocrateiddio’r holl fyd yn boblogaidd iawn ar y dde er ei fod yn ei gyfanrwydd yn eithaf ofnus ac i mi yn arwain at terfysgaeth. Y broblem yn fy marn i yw ei fod yn ideolegol yn debyg i’r &lt;/span&gt;“White Man’s Burden”&lt;span lang=CY style=""&gt; sef bod ni yn well na nhw, felly mi ddylem orfodi system ddemocrataidd arnynt. Nid yw hi mor hawdd a hyn ac mae’n rhaid cofio y bod democrateiddio yn y gorllewin wedi bod yn broses hir iawn a ddim rhywbeth a ddigwyddodd dros nos.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;

&lt;p style=""&gt;&lt;span lang=CY style=""&gt;&lt;font face="Times New Roman" color="#ff6600" size=3&gt; &lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;p style=""&gt;&lt;span lang=CY style=""&gt;&lt;font size=3&gt;&lt;font face="Times New Roman"&gt;&lt;font color="#ff6600"&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt;            &lt;/span&gt;Mae’r cwestiwn yn gofyn a ddylai moesoldeb fod mor bwysig mewn cyfnod o rhyfel a yw mewn cyfnod o heddwch. Yn amlwg mae dwy ochr ir ddadl. Rwyf am ymateb i’r gosodiad drwy edrych a&lt;span style=""&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;all rhyfel fod yn gyfiawn a ydi’n bosib i’r ymladd mewn rhyfel fod yn gyfiawn.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;p style=""&gt;&lt;span lang=CY style=""&gt;&lt;font size=3&gt;&lt;font face="Times New Roman"&gt;&lt;font color="#ff6600"&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt;            &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;p style="text-indent:36pt"&gt;&lt;span lang=CY style=""&gt;&lt;font size=3&gt;&lt;font face="Times New Roman"&gt;&lt;font color="#ff6600"&gt;Yn gyntaf Jus ad bellum, pa rhesymau sy’n gwneud hi’n gyfiawn i mynd i rhyfel. Yn gyntaf mae’n siŵr bod hi werth nodi pam bod y meddylfryd o Rhyfel cyfiawn wedi cael ei ddylunio. Yn syml roedd angen dull ar arweinwyr a oedd yn rheoli gwlad Gristnogol cyfiawnhau i’w bobl y bod rhyfel ddim yn dda ond yn gallu bod yn angenrheidiol, a hefyd y bod hi’n bosib i gyfiawnhau rhyfel mewn rhai achosion. Yn gyntaf felly gellir dadlau bod arweinwyr Cristnogol yn credu bod lle i foesoldeb mewn cyfnod o rhyfel.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;p style=""&gt;&lt;span lang=CY style=""&gt;&lt;font face="Times New Roman" color="#ff6600" size=3&gt; &lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;p style=""&gt;&lt;span lang=CY style=""&gt;&lt;font size=3&gt;&lt;font face="Times New Roman"&gt;&lt;font color="#ff6600"&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt;            &lt;/span&gt;Roedd y bobl cyntaf i ddadlau Theori Rhyfel Gyfiawn fel St Augustine yn mynd mor bell a dweud bod tri rheswm dilys ar gyfer rhyfel. Yn gyntaf er mwyn amddiffyn eich hun. Yn arwynebol mae hyn yn edrych yn syml, os yw gwlad yn ymosod arnoch, wel siŵr iawn bod gennych yr hawl i amddiffyn eich hun. Ond gellir dadlau bod angen i’ch gwlad ymosod ar wlad cyn iddi ddod yn fygythiad. Rhaid gofyn pryd mae hyn yn gyfiawn? Gwelir hyn yn Iraq. Roedd Bush a Blair yn gweld Iraq yn peryglus yn y dyfodol, fel y lle byddai terfysgwyr yn gallu cael lloches a hwyrach yn gallu cael arfau dinistr enfawr. Ond byddai rhai yn dadlau bod hyn yn anghyfiawn oherwydd bod Iraq yn uniongyrchol heb ymosod ar unrhyw wlad arall. Byddai hyn yn felly yn gwneud hi’n anfoesol i ymosod ar Iraq. Byddai Realwyr yn dadlau yma mae mewn byd o wleidyddiaeth pŵer bod hyn yn amhosib i’w osgoi a bod gwlad bob amser yn mynd i edrych i gael yr llaw uchaf&lt;span style=""&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;drwy ymosod gyntaf a cyn ir perygl ddatblygu. Rwyf i yn tueddi i ochri ar realwyr yma, yn amlwg i mi mae dyletswydd arweinwyr gwladwriaethau yn bennaf i bobl y wladwriaeth dan sylw a dylai trio ei diogelu mewn bob ffordd. Hyd yn oed os nad yw’n gyfiawn, oherwydd i mi nid yw moesoldeb yn perthyn i rhyfel. &lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;

Er enghraifft ynysoedd y Falkland’s. Roedd yr Ariannin yn ogystal a Prydain yn credu bod ganddynt yr hawl i fod yn berchen ar yr ynysoedd. Mae’r cwestiwn o pwy oedd berchen ar y tir gyntaf yn dod i’r amlwg. A hefyd os ar ôl hyn a hyn o flynyddoedd bod rhaid i wlad gyfaddau na nid nhw sydd yn gyfreithiol berchen y tir mwyach. Mae’n siŵr mae’r peth mwyaf moesol i wneud byddai i bobl yr ardal neu’r tir sydd dan sylw gael refferendwm er mwyn penderfynu i ba wlad mae nhw eisiau perthyn i. Ond yn amlwg os yw un gwald yn ymddwyn yn ymosodol mae anodd gweld hyn yn digwydd, ac yn anodd gweld sut byddai’r gwlad sydd wedi cael ei ymosod ddim taro’n ôl. Anodd felly yw gweld hyn yn moesol a gellir dadlau bod dim lle i foesoldeb mewn rhyfel. &lt;span style=""&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt;                                             &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt;                                                &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;

Credaf bod rhai achosion lle y gellir cyhoeddi rhyfel er mwyn arbed hawliau dynol. Yn yr oes o honni, gyda’r holl dechnoleg credaf na ddylai neb farw o newyn. Ond mae yna nifer o achosion lle mae ymyrryd yn gallu gwneud pethau yn llawer mwy gwaeth. Problem arall yw mae dweud y gall gwlad cyhoeddi rhyfel, ai fod yn gyfiawn oherwydd rhesymau anghyfiawnder dynol, yn gallu cael ei camddefnyddio. Hwyrach bod hyn yn ddadl besimistaidd. Ond gellir dadlau bod U.D.A a Prydain wedi defnyddio y rheswm yma (hawliau dynol) i gyfiawnhau ymosod ar Iraq tra wir rheswm oedd bod Iraq wedi’i lleoli mewn man strategaethol pwysig a hefyd bod yr adnoddau crai megis olew yn werthfawr ac ei bod ei angen ar y gwledydd a oedd yn ymosod. Fel y dywedir&lt;span style=""&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;De Lupis,&lt;sup&gt;1&lt;/sup&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;

Ond er hyn dadleuir De Lupis&lt;sup&gt;1&lt;/sup&gt; bod yna rhai achosion lle mae sefyll yn ôl a gwneud dim yn anfoesol. Felly yma mae dadl y bod hi’n gallu bod yn foesol i fynd i rhyfel a byddai hyn yn cytuno ar gosodiad y bod lle i foesoldeb mewn rhyfel. &lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;

Credir rhai y bod angen llinell clir rhwng milwyr a sifiliaid. Ond mae technoleg ar modd y mae rhyfeloedd diweddar wedi datblygu wedi gwneud hyn yn llawer anoddach.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;

Yet, there is a body of jus in bello which operates during warfare. The substratum of these rules consists of rules on ‘ethics’ or ‘humanity’, forbidding in particular certain weapons and attacks against certain targets.

Felly yr ymateb moesol byddai bod holl sifiliaid bydd yn cael ei targedu. Y problem sydd gennai hefo hyn yw bod hi’n anodd gwybod o flaen llaw os ydi targedu sifiliaid fel mae De Puis&lt;sup&gt;1&lt;/sup&gt; yn dweud yn wastraff neu ar y llaw arall yn mynd i helpu i ddiweddu y rhyfel yn gyflymach.&lt;a title="" style="" href="http://spaces.msn.com/mmm2005-11-01_10.54/#_ftn2"&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span style="color:white"&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span lang=CY style="font-size:12pt;color:white;font-family:'Times New Roman'"&gt;&lt;u&gt;[2]&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;

Ond mae nifer o’r ysgol o feddwl Rhyfel Cyfiawn e.e.Clausewitz&lt;sup&gt;2&lt;/sup&gt; yn dadlau na ddylai sifiliaid byth cael ei targedu ar bwrpas mewn rhyfel. Anghytunaf a hyn. Diben rhyfel yw ennill. Os ydi lladd sifiliaid am helpu i ennill rhyfel yn gyflymach, mae yna gyfrifoldeb ar yr arweinwr gwlad i wneud hynny. Er mwyn arbed sifiliaid ei wlad ei hun a milwyr ei wlad. &lt;span style=""&gt; &lt;/span&gt;Gwelir hyn yn yr achos Hiroshima a Nagasaki. Byddai trio ymosod ar tir Japan trwy dulliau confensiynol wedi bod yn gostus iawn yn nhermau bywydau milwyr y cynghreiriaid, yn ogystal a sifiliaid Japaneaidd oherwydd bomio cyson ar dinasoedd Japan. I mi felly yr opsiwn gorau oedd defnyddio y bom atomig i diweddu y rhyfel cyn gynt a oedd yn bosib. Oherwydd hyn dylai Rhyfel bod yn opsiwn olaf bob tro, y peth mwyaf moesol i’w tynnu’r wlad allan o statws o rhyfel ac felly rhaid gorffen y rhyfel cyn gynted a sy’n bosib mewn unrhyw ffordd bosib. &lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;a title="" style="" href="http://spaces.msn.com/mmm2005-11-01_10.54/#_ftn3"&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span style="color:white"&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span lang=CY style="font-size:12pt;color:white;font-family:'Times New Roman'"&gt;&lt;u&gt;&lt;font color="#ff6600"&gt;[3]&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a title="" style="" href="http://spaces.msn.com/mmm2005-11-01_10.54/#_ftn4"&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span style="color:white"&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span lang=CY style="font-size:12pt;color:white;font-family:'Times New Roman'"&gt;&lt;u&gt;&lt;font color="#ff6600"&gt;[4]&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;font size=3&gt;&lt;font face="Times New Roman"&gt;&lt;font color="#ff6600"&gt;Mewn ffordd rwyf yn dadlau nad oes lle i foesoldeb mewn rhyfel. Rwyf yn gofyn hyn i chi. Ai y reswm pennaf y rydym yn trio osgoi rhyfel yw ei bod mor anfoesol yn y lle cyntaf? I mi ia ydi’r ateb. &lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;

Yn anffodus rydym yn byw mewn byd sy’n bell iawn o fod yn ddelfrydol. Am y rheswm hyn credaf mewn achosion eithafol rhaid i arteithio fod yn o leiaf opsiwn. Os ydi hi yn bosib i cael gwybodaeth a wneith safio miloedd o fywydau credaf bod arteithio yn gyfiawn. Meddyliwch am funud os byddai un och teulu yn marw mewn ffrwydrad gan grŵp terfysgol. Mewn wythnosau i ddod rydych yn darganfod bod Pennaeth yr MI6 er enghraifft&lt;span style=""&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;wedi penderfynu peidio arteithio un a ddrwgdybir o osod y ffrwydron. A byddai chi yn gallu maddau i’r Pennaeth? Credaf mewn achosion fel hyn bod rhaid anghofio am moesoldeb a canolbwyntio ar achub gymaint o bobl a y gellir.

&lt;p&gt;As a result of an overwhelming lack of requests, and with research help from that renown scientific journal SPY magazine (January, 1990) - I am pleased to present the annual scientific inquiry into Santa Claus. 
&lt;ol&gt;
&lt;li&gt;No known species of reindeer can fly. BUT there are 300,000 species of living organisms yet to be classified, and while most of these are insects and germs, this does not COMPLETELY rule out flying reindeer which only Santa has ever seen. 
&lt;li&gt;There are 2 billion children (persons under 18) in the world. BUT since Santa doesn't (appear) to handle the Muslim, Hindu, Jewish and Buddhist cihldren, that reduces the workload to to 15% of the total - 378 million according to Population Reference Bureau. At an average (census) rate of 3.5 children per household, that's 91.8 million homes. One presumes there's at least one good child in each. 
&lt;li&gt;Santa has 31 hours of Christmas to work with, thanks to the different time zones and the rotation of the earth, assuming he travels east to west (which seemes logical). This works out to 822.6 visits per second. This is to say that for each Christian household with good children, Santa has 1/1000th of a second to park, hop out of the sleigh, jump down the chimney, fill the stockings, distribute the remaining presents under the tree, eat whatever snacks have been left, get back up the chimney, get back into the sleigh and move on to the next house. Assuming that each of these 91.8 million stops are evenly distributed around the earth (which, of course, we know to be false but for the purposes of our calculations we will accept), we are now talking about...78 miles per household, a total trip of 75-1/2 million miles, not counting stops to do what most of us must do at least once every 31 hours, plus feeding and etc. &lt;br&gt;This means that Santa's sleigh is moving at 650 miles per second, 3,000 times the speed of sound. For purposes of comparison, the fastest man- made vehicle on earth, the Ulysses space probe, moves at a poky 27.4 miles per second - a conventional reindeer can run, tops, 15 miles per hour. 
&lt;li&gt;The payload on the sleigh adds another interesting element. Assuming that each child gets nothing more than a medium-sized lego set (2 pounds), the sleigh is carrying 321,300 tons, not counting Santa, who is invariably described as overweight. On land, conventional reindeer can pull no more than 300 pounds. Even granting that &amp;quot;flying reindeer&amp;quot; (see point #1) could pull TEN TIMES the normal amount, we cannot do the job with eight, or even nine. We need 214,200 reindeer. This increases the payload - not even counting the weight of the sleigh - to 353,430 tons. Again, for comparison - this is four times the weight of the Queen Elizabeth. 
&lt;li&gt;353,000 tons travelling at 650 miles per second creates enourmous air resistance - this will heat the reindeer up in the same fashion as spacecrafts re-entering the earth's atmosphere. The lead pair of reindeer will absorb 14.3 QUINTILLION joules of energy. Per second. Each. In short, they will burst into flame almost instantaneously, exposing the reindeer behind them, and create deafening sonic booms in their wake. The entire reindeer team will be vaporized within 4.26 thousandths of a second. Santa, meanwhile, will be subjected to centrifugal forces 17,500.06 times greater than gravity. A 250-pound Santa (which seems ludicrously slim) would be pinned to the back of his sleigh by 4,315,015 pounds of force. &lt;/ol&gt;
&lt;p&gt;IN CONCLUSION - If Santa ever DID deliver presents on Christmas Eve, he's dead now.  &lt;img src="http://c.services.spaces.live.com/CollectionWebService/c.gif?cid=3774989677777134617&amp;page=RSS%3a+Sorry+Kids!!&amp;referrer=" width="1px" height="1px" border="0" alt=""&gt;&lt;img style="position:absolute" alt="" width="0px" height="0px" src="http://c.live.com/c.gif?NC=31263&amp;amp;NA=1149&amp;amp;PI=73329&amp;amp;RF=&amp;amp;DI=3919&amp;amp;PS=85545&amp;amp;TP=canariesrule.spaces.live.com&amp;amp;GT1=canariesrule"&gt;</description><category>Christmas</category><comments>http://canariesrule.spaces.live.com/Blog/cns!3463751C76AC2419!198.entry#comment</comments><guid isPermaLink="true">http://canariesrule.spaces.live.com/Blog/cns!3463751C76AC2419!198.entry</guid><pubDate>Mon, 05 Dec 2005 21:33:56 GMT</pubDate><slash:comments>1</slash:comments><msn:type>blogentry</msn:type><live:type>blogentry</live:type><live:typelabel>Blog entry</live:typelabel><wfw:commentRss>http://canariesrule.spaces.live.com/blog/cns!3463751C76AC2419!198/comments/feed.rss</wfw:commentRss><wfw:comment>http://canariesrule.spaces.live.com/Blog/cns!3463751C76AC2419!198.entry#comment</wfw:comment><dcterms:modified>2005-12-05T21:33:56Z</dcterms:modified></item><item><title>When God created Wales..</title><link>http://canariesrule.spaces.live.com/Blog/cns!3463751C76AC2419!189.entry</link><description>&lt;div&gt;&lt;font size=4&gt;In the beginning the Lord God Almighty turned to the Archangel &lt;br&gt;Gabriel, and said: &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&amp;quot;Today I am going to create a beautiful part of the Earth and I will &lt;br&gt;call it Wales. I will make a country of breathtaking blue lakes, rich &lt;br&gt;green forests and dark beautiful mountains from which from time to &lt;br&gt;time will be snow-covered. I will give it clear, swift rivers that will &lt;br&gt;overflow with salmon and trout. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;The land shall be lush and fertile on which the people can raise cattle &lt;br&gt;and grow their food, as well as being rich with precious metals and &lt;br&gt;stones that will be sought after, the World over. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Underneath the land I shall lay rich seams of coal for the inhabitants to &lt;br&gt;mine. Around the coast I will make some of the most beautiful areas in &lt;br&gt;the World. White sandy beaches and cliffs that will attract all manner &lt;br&gt;of wildlife, and lots of islands that will be paradise to all who visit &lt;br&gt;them. In the waters around the shores there will be abundance of sea-life. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;The people who will live there will be called the Welsh, and they will &lt;br&gt;be the friendliest people on my Earth. They will have magic in their &lt;br&gt;blood, and songs in their souls.  Their Voices when raised in song shall &lt;br&gt;challenge the choir of angels.&amp;quot;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&amp;quot;Excuse me, sire&amp;quot; interrupted the Archangel Gabriel, &amp;quot;don't you think &lt;br&gt;that you are being a bit generous to these Welsh?&amp;quot; &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;The lord just smiled and replied &amp;quot;You have not seen the neighbours &lt;br&gt;I'm giving them!&amp;quot;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;img src="http://c.services.spaces.live.com/CollectionWebService/c.gif?cid=3774989677777134617&amp;page=RSS%3a+When+God+created+Wales..&amp;referrer=" width="1px" height="1px" border="0" alt=""&gt;&lt;img style="position:absolute" alt="" width="0px" height="0px" src="http://c.live.com/c.gif?NC=31263&amp;amp;NA=1149&amp;amp;PI=73329&amp;amp;RF=&amp;amp;DI=3919&amp;amp;PS=85545&amp;amp;TP=canariesrule.spaces.live.com&amp;amp;GT1=canariesrule"&gt;</description><comments>http://canariesrule.spaces.live.com/Blog/cns!3463751C76AC2419!189.entry#comment</comments><guid isPermaLink="true">http://canariesrule.spaces.live.com/Blog/cns!3463751C76AC2419!189.entry</guid><pubDate>Tue, 15 Nov 2005 22:22:31 GMT</pubDate><slash:comments>3</slash:comments><msn:type>blogentry</msn:type><live:type>blogentry</live:type><live:typelabel>Blog entry</live:typelabel><wfw:commentRss>http://canariesrule.spaces.live.com/blog/cns!3463751C76AC2419!189/comments/feed.rss</wfw:commentRss><wfw:comment>http://canariesrule.spaces.live.com/Blog/cns!3463751C76AC2419!189.entry#comment</wfw:comment><dcterms:modified>2005-11-15T22:22:31Z</dcterms:modified></item><item><title>No wonder English is so hard to learn</title><link>http://canariesrule.spaces.live.com/Blog/cns!3463751C76AC2419!188.entry</link><description>No wonder English is so hard to learn

&lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;&amp;quot; Don't you know it's rude to speak Welsh on the football pitch&amp;quot;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;To which i responded,&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;&amp;quot;So it's rude to speak ur native language in ur own country&amp;quot;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;&amp;quot;Of course it is some people don't understand&amp;quot;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;was the reply from there number 10.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;To which i added,&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;&amp;quot; So French people shouldnt be allowed to speak French in France&amp;quot;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;&amp;quot;No they should speak English&amp;quot;,was the reply.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;Is this just another example of English ignorance?&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;We went on to loose the football match 3-0 and i did shake his hand at the end of the match because i am a sportsman,and unlike many English people i have principles.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;Maybe i am a bastard but id rather be a bastard than a fuckin englishman!&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;Da ni yma o hyd  Cymru.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;Gerallt&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;
