But on the flipside, it's now the year 2012, and everyone in the US still writes fucking checks. CHECKS! Holland stopped using checks literally twenty years ago. You can't even GET them anymore.

Everyone? I'd call that a significant exaggeration -- checks are fading pretty quickly. Many retail locations won't take them. I use them for getting cash, as I said, and for paying my bills through the mail but nothing else.
