The other day i was watching the news and heard about this website that gives rice to needy families with peoples' help..

you can just go to Freerice.com and it's a vocab game and every time you get a word right, 20 grains of rice goes to needy families.

it's really cool. and a good cause.
SilentLaugh

ill do it, thanks for telling us
RealTalk

Oh, I got up to.. a lot of grains of rice on freerice.com last time. Unfortunately, I accidentally exited and gave up. I think I'm gonna do it again soon. ^_^

I'm moving this to The Lounge so it'll get more attention. I think there's a topic for this already, but maybe I'm remembering incorrectly.

I love Free Rice; it's so fun.
Janette

do you guys actually realize how much those grains are? i can't believe you guys are actually this stupid.

that's one bag, maybe at the max, 3 bags of rice right there.

nice job, dumbasses. you were better off donating money to a real site, not a scam.

Great Website!!!

uhm.. the person who refered to us as "dumbasses" should really shut up. I don't think this website would have been on the NEWS if it were a scam.. This was on the news ALL OVER the US. so if it were a scam... people would know about it.

besides.. even if it is a scam, so what? it's improving your vacob. :)
