I've always considered America to be quite cash oriented. <BR/><BR/>In my tiny country (Norway) many people don't even carry cash - and it would be impossible to function withouth a bank account and credit card. I myself would buy everything from a coup of coffe to car with cc. <BR/><BR/>But let me ask you something: Do people still use checks over there? That is a funny thing:)Windingstadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13417044487450301484noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5908695978213266893.post-53347381620651148852008-09-21T05:55:00.000-07:002008-09-21T05:55:00.000-07:00Winston Churchill said that democracy was the wors...Winston Churchill said that democracy was the worst form of government, except for all the other forms of government.

Almost 2/3 of the American economy is solely based upon how much the average, middle class American invests in banks or spends on stuff. :)Iraqi Americanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11280965282159554700noreply@blogger.com
