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. |

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. |

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. |

Uhmm...I don't think it's a scam:
http://www.snopes.com/inboxer/charity/freerice.asp ^ That's a pretty legitimate site, from what I've seen. |
