Mandalor Vipeer · « **Reply #25 on:** November 13, 2008, 05:38 am »

8th grade? wow now i feel kind of dumb. I'm a senior who hangs around with a couple of geniuses. Guess I'm not as smart as i thought i was. Still, don't worry I've still got the challenge of beating your score. I made it to level forty three and got kicked off so my dad could look up what his car was worth. That's O.K. i'll do it during my boring classes toworrow.

Peace Trooper · « **Reply #26 on:** November 14, 2008, 03:49 am »

BUHAHAHAHA! I'm beating a Senior

Sapare · « **Reply #30 on:** November 14, 2008, 04:50 am »

YOU KNOW MOST LIKELY THE REASON YOU NOT AS SMART AS HE IS BECAUSE YOU DON'T listen in the classes. Come on you just said yourself so. Even if they boring listen its more important then some rice for people or some beating some guy on the internet .Dam these mature people are not as mature as I'm(And I'm only 13).

LOL!
who ever said i was smarter than him?
he could most likely kick my but in most subjects just because hes like 10 years ahead of me

but however i do ace evrey spelling & vocab test lol...

Mandalor Vipeer · « **Reply #32 on:** November 15, 2008, 04:57 am »

Never failed a test in my life (I'm a nerd) I did get a D last year once though. I don't need to listen, because everything in class is just notes. All the real information comes from the book. Even our teacher told us that. As long as I read the book, I get the information I need even if some of it is pointless. I've learned more this year by not paying attention than I did in the past by actually paying attention. (This all excludes lab, which is actually fun.) By the way, I have 2600 grains of rice and am at level 36 again.

Peace Trooper · « **Reply #33 on:** November 15, 2008, 05:27 am »

thx for reviving the topic lol because it will save lives

i aced a science test today about the periodic table (i didnt get it back yet but i know i at least got 90% lol i can feel it!)

Mandalor Vipeer · « **Reply #34 on:** November 15, 2008, 05:38 am »

I aced a PSO Biology test today about chemical reactions and other things that I forgot after the test because I'll never use them again anyway. Still I finaly got to level 58 and i have 8000 grains.

BowserandDESTROYAH! · « **Reply #35 on:** November 15, 2008, 01:56 pm »

Mandalor Vipeer · « **Reply #44 on:** November 18, 2008, 03:37 am »

SORRY, I just realized that I made a typo on my last postThe number was 10,000 not 1,000. 1,000 on level 60 doesn't make too much sense anyway.

I do not support the idea of the site, there is a reason people in Africa are starving, our world is heavily overpopulated, and if it continues the Earth won't be able to support us...there is a reason for everything

thats when we move to mars

lol and people in africa are starving because africa is the reject continent they have had to go through so much slavery, civil war, starvation, HIV, Malaria, and many more that i cannot even discribe without being banned... and here we are piggying out n fatty foods and getting drunk, it isnt right it just isnt right cant they have a break this one time? just this one time, save them instead of turning a blind eye?

Is the Rice really going to the place they say it's going?

Corusca Fire · « **Reply #48 on:** November 18, 2008, 09:18 pm »

From what i can tell, yes

“Every grain of rice is essential in the fight against hunger . . . FreeRice really hits home how the Web can be harnessed to raise awareness and funds for the world’s number one emergency.”

- UN World Food Program

Oh and check this out

Quote, Wikipedia:

approximately 20,000 grains of rice provide enough caloric intake to sustain an adult for one day

That's a good point. How are you absolutely sure it's going where they say it is? You can't be 100% sure unless you are distributing it yourself. However, it is really fun to play and I did it anyway.

Aelek · « **Reply #51 on:** November 21, 2008, 04:23 am »

I pity those who are going to doom our world, mostly you guys playing on that website

Mandalor Vipeer · « **Reply #52 on:** November 21, 2008, 04:56 am »

Why do you say that? And I like doom. and I know doom, my name is doom and this sight is not dooming (if that's a word) How can we doom the world by having fun and maybe helping people though?

Because the UN world food program said so. Read the posts next time. maybe someone *ahem* already answered your question.
