Free Rice

[Heatmaster78]

I ought known y'all was going to dis it.
Companies and Businesses that support this gives money
because each time you answer a question an ad comes up.
(Not on the actual thing your using, below it) Each
time there ad comes up from you answering a
question, they donate money to the people who run this,
then they get the rice, then they have people transport it
down there. The people don't just have 1 Billion Bowls of Rice
they are keeping until someone answers. And no this isn't a
business scam either.

So you're saying that they are keeping the containers of rice to themselves until someone answers a question?

That my friend, is wrong, just wrong...

THEY DONT HAVE THE RICE
THEY HAVE TO BUY IT
THEY HAVE TO GET THE MONEY FROM THE COMPANIES TO GET IT
THEY DONT HAVE IT WITH THEM
THEY DONT HAVE NONE IN STORAGE

But why don't they just give the rice away if they already have it? Dicks.

Don't try to explain it to them...

EDITED

If FreeRice has the rice to give, why not give it all away right now?

FreeRice is not sitting on a pile of rice.you are earning it 10 grains at a time. Here is how it works. When you play the game, sponsor banners appear on the bottom of your screen. The money generated by these banners is then used to buy the rice. So by playing, you generate the money that pays for the rice donated to hungry people.

Thank you Fixer!

Not to diss the program,.....
The amount of rice you generate per question you answer is really small.......So you'd need to answer A LOT of questions to donate a big amount by yourself. The totals look pretty impressive, though

Seriosly....Free charity, em no really no.
The [m'kay] is right on this one, no $$$ no charity.
If you REALLY think answering some internet sponsor questions actually funds charity....then you really need some RL lessons...

So are you guys going to answer my question, or keep running around with your fingers in your ears?

Cuz et cost da moneh 2 give n bai der riyce n ship et awf to de playcez

EDIT:

I believe the above sentence might confused our younger and not-so-smart members, yes I mean you Narg. So let me translate - I believe they don't just give it away because it costs them money to ship and buy the rice. But that's my guess, and it's 7:30 am here, so don't expect an educated answer from me.

I'm pretty sure any middle class blue collar fella could keep an entire village in rice for less than the cost of his cigarettes.
I believe this whole games for rice thing is a giant ponzi scheme. Keep playing and keep making the rich richer.
