Let me see, I lived through men wearing shiny platform patent leather shoes, disco, custom vans (keep on truckin, ugh), everyone trying to paint their car to look like starsky and hutch's torino, Dukes of hazzard chargers, american graffiti yellow coupes (those werent so bad) and the whole CBradio/truck driver thing among others - fads come and go depending on whats playing at the movies or on TV and people who advertise can make money on.
The rice deal will fade away soon enough, I was hoping Janet Jackson would start a new trend and all women would start flashing their breasts for no apparent reason but it hasnt happened

I have my theory about "ricers"...
I blame it on Public Education System..and the media...
The media is obvious..folks have pointed that out...
The schools is the biggie.
Why?
Just look! The schools just plain suck.. They are so freakin' politically correct its not funny! You have FloridUH last year that was protesting the fact that their kids couldnt pass the FCAT tests (We are dumb..we know we are dumb...pass us anyway)...
They are not graded on what they DO but how much of an effort they put in basically. Its this OUTCOME BASED EDUCATION thats the problem.
Its not the actual RESULT is the PERCEIVED result.
Sure..They get a diploma..but they are dumb as rocks..can barely read etc..etc..
Oh..lil johnny got a 40% on his test... Oh..he 'tried'..Lets not embarass him, or credit those that actually STUDIED...lets bring DOWN the smart ones, and maniuplate the grading system so EVERYONE does 'good'..
This easily translates to their choice of cars.
It does have to BE fast..or perform..it only has to LOOK fast...
I'd wager that 80% of all ricers couldn't rattle off any amendments to the Constitution!! (except of course the 1st...such idiots use that all the time to force their stupidity..)
Its my theory..and I'm sticking to it!

Dood, I agree with you 100% about our school systems here.
They pretty much suck the big one. Did you see the article
on CNN about the some school system wanting remove the
word "evolution" from their text books and replace it with
"biological change over time"? What a bunch of jerk-offs!
Of course, I got a 3.92 gpa and didn't even try

Altho I did pick up on it from one of those 'right wing conspiracy outlets"...
It called Orwellian Newspeak...
Its the dumbing down and deliberate wording of things to make it easy for the general public to swallow..
Case in point...
Do you remember when gays referred to issues based on "sexual preferrence'?
Now its 'sexual orientation'...
Ill bet allotta folks missed that 'change'...
"preferrence" means something one simply favors over something else..
Now "orientation" implies..that 'they cant help themselves' (boo Hoo)...DESPITE there being NO SCIENTIFIC EVIDENCE to support what they say regarding sexual PREFERENCE.
You need only to concentrate and really listen to what the bonehead media and left wing wackos say to be able to easily tear em apart. Once you accept their BS premise, then its all over. This is why once you kick that foundation of lies out from under em, all their other aurgements (just as wacked out as the premise) falls like a house of cards...
Libs and their ilk are cannon fodder for me..
Shine the light of truth, fact and reality on em, and they scatter like roaches...
But when the have the support of morons (which is what most dems are..) they bask in their baseless support.
Sorry to go 'political'...but in the context of the schools..it IS political as far as NEA control and garbage that is fed to kids in classrooms these days...
So you have a high GPA? Congrats..thats a result of YOUR HARD WORK.
Next time some liberal wacko goes off on you about 'social justice' (just socialism in disguise)...
Ask him HIS gpa..
Then ask him, based on beliefs, if he would give a 'less fortunate' student 1.3 of his gpa...
If he says no...ask why.
He'll prolly say...cuz he earned it..and the other person didnt..
BINGO! Its exactly how the rest of the world feels about taxes.
He'll either see 'some light' or call you a facist and scurry away...

I'd say its just too damn bad if someone can't pass in school. Yeah, give them a chance and try to teach them...but there is only so much you can do. Don't give a stupid kid a diploma, make them earn it...effort DOESN'T count for crap in this world. Its what you actually accomplish that sets you apart as being successful. I don't care if you have to hold a kid back 15yrs...they have to learn it if they want the diploma.
btw...this was after several drinks and engorging myself on a great dinner

I think ricers are going to be around. Hot Rods (chopped cars), Muscle Cars, Harleys, crotch rockets are all still around. Some of us are just more enlightened than others. But, what can you expect from Micky Dees when they went and bought all the downer cows that had been condemned by the feds (how come if something is dangerous they still allow it to be sold, I feel safe).

Hrm, I think we've strayed from the original topic. Let's
get this back on track or I may have to lock it if we
start getting into too much politics.

rice is a fad. Way over glorified by the media at this point. Its just plain obvious, in a few years, rice will be the gold-glittered-van's of the 90's and 00's
back to one of the subjects again, Funk Masturbator Flex is still a moron.
One of his shows, had him racing Nelly Furtado or whatever that bandaid-under-his-eye wearing ****' name is.
anyway, Nelly Furtodo ran like a 15 in his POS "classic car", and Funk Masturbator Flex ran like a 18 in his POS "classic car"
Then theres that episode where he taught some female "rapper" do a burnout in his '70 Chevelle. Took the bitch forever to learn to hold the brake and hit the gas.
Turns out his "high performance racecar" (as he called it) was a one-legger
