FreeRice.com

Still remember my previous post on Tuesday, February 19, 2008 titled 日行一善 ? freerice.com was published in an article, found in "THE NEWPAPER" dated 16th April 08 (Wednesday).

This article would be very successful, especially when most of the ppl out there are facing with the high-pricing rice. They would "feel" that they had the urge to help the needy.

My Question is:
Why must this article be published after crazy rice price hike? Why are the human beings WILL ONLY REALIZE HOW THE POOR ARE SUFFERING when they face with the same/similar problem on themselves?

There are ppl who actually developed a website to play for the vocab automatically- with the objective to earn the 20 grains of rice for each correct answer for the needy. Some argued with me, "It beats the purpose of setting up this website." And I answered,"IF the person has time, he would play fairly through the website. If he doesnt have time, he will just use that website." Yes, obviously this is against the T&C. Think of another way, how many of the ppl out there are just have so much time, being so smart to answer correctly or willing to put in so much effort to logon the website for few hours a day?

My stand is clear: Try to do the vocab on ur own. Look for Thesaurus in the Dictionary.com for the answers and the meaning & improve your vocab while earning 20 grains of rice each time. However, you may think of using that website while u are AFK. (Away from keyboard)

Please take a look on the article published on THE NEWPAPER. (I specially photocopied this out from the library and scanned into computer!)
