Free Rice

Postby the_antisocial_hermit » Fri Oct 26, 2007 5:17 pm

www.freerice.com

It's an interesting word game and supposedly helps out people (and helps your brain). But it's sort of addictive.

No game but gives more food with just 1 click (for those who are in a hurry) :wink:

Thanks for sharing this game. I passed it on to another site where thousands of people have already viewed it and, hopefully, played it.

In the same vein, try this site:

http://www.thehungersite.com/clickToGive/home.faces

No fun game but it can make you feel good!

Edit: Sorry, I missed this link above but it's worth repeating. :D

Both are good sites, but for thehungersite.com I'd say, don't install their toolbars, if they still offer those.
Some time ago they had toolbars which were full of adware and spyware.
But beyond that, it's a decent initiative.

I should not even bring this up.

MEDICAL CARE!
You feed them. They die of disease.
Treat the disease. They die of starvation.

Show me a site that does both.

At least it's something. If there are sites for medical care, then go to the links for these and for those, and there you go. One site doesn't have to do both. Different sites for different things will suffice. At least it's trying to help (however minimal it is) instead of whining or doing nothing. Don't knock the little that can be done. Without a little nothing gets done.

I do not have the links for medical care. Do you?

I have nothing against feeding those who cannot feed themselves.

Medical care? They do not get it because medical care = more money than food. Sad.

Medical care should be as inexpensive as rice.

Burn me as you wish. Watch the poor die of disease.

I manage to get to level 37, not bad for a non-native speaker I'd say. (did about 1000 grains, I kept hovering between 32 and 37).

I didn't know they jailed Condoleezza. :P

Oh, well, I reached a vocab level of 31 after the first kg of rice. Leaves room for improvement...
