Rice alone is not fattenng, if you just eat 1 bowl of it during 1 meal and eat 3 meals a day. But nobody does this and they eat rice with alot of salty Chinese sauce, or stir fried dishes. Therefore there is weight gain. The more tasty dishes there are, the more rice you take to complement to heavy taste of the dishes, so the end result is too much calories and fats.

brown rice is healthier because it has fiber that is more filling, and vitamins,,, rice is a carbohydrate, we need them to live. If you eat more calories than you are burning, anything can be fattening. My friend did ESL teaching in china, they said if you eat rice first, you will be fat, if you eat it last (after more low cal veggies and lean meat or tofu) you will be thin. The theory behind that is that you won't gorge on it and fill up on lower calorie food and eat the starch in moderation.

Rice actually contains very little fat. The reason why some people say it is, is because of the "carbohydrate" in it. Carbohydrate converts to energy in the human body. If you dont use the energy that the rice provides (and you eat too much of it) the carbohydrate can convert to fat in your body. Just watch how much you eat.

Once in a while is not bad. But if your diet contains rice on daily basis then you should try avoiding white rice. It is bad carbs. You can still go for brown rice if you want.

rice has complex carbohydrates 100 % nothing else. So, if you don't do hard work physically avoid them otherwise definetely they are fattening.

No, but it is filling. Eating just a little can fill you up faster than the same amount of any other food. But like with any other food, it does contain calories that you should work off.
