I love New York, so I'd say US. But besides New York, I'd prefer Europe.

Those in bold are either debatable or a downright lie
Europe really isn't diverse, everybody's the same, everywhere's the same, take off your rose coloured glasses

Europe is definitely historically and culturally richer than the US, and only a fool would deny it.

Europe has no jobs unless you're born in Northern Europe I guess, then there. Otherwise, USA

also Europe is deeply racist, it's the sad truth. And the USA are more incontaminate and more naturally beautiful.
But European cities are way more beautiful and prettier than US cities, but they are so crowded and dirty
I think if you're born white/native and rich, Europe >>>>> if you're born minority and poor, I think USA offers more opportunities. And if you love history and cities, then EU, but if you love parks and wilderness, USA.

The discrepancy of what each one has to offer
But yeah, free education, free health care, no guns, marriage equality (in my country at least) >>>

As a (hopefully) future immigrant, I feel that the US is far more lenient to people like me (who want to pursue an education and a career in the US) than in Europe.
So the US, which has always welcomed immigrants. Although it has narrowed its' doors, the xenophobia in the most liberal of Europe matches that of the Bible Belt.

How is the US more diverse than Europe? Just because there's lots of immigrants doesn't mean it's more diverse or culturally rich. I legitimately don't understand.

If you are referring to my previous post, I didn't say Europe is more diverse, but more culturally and historically rich, as there is abundant heritage, and different cultures within each individual nation. Aside from a few minority communities the US is monocultural.

That's my stance, too, but Marvin, whom I was referring to kinda indirectly, seems to think otherwise.

I don't understand why you keep implying that Europe is less than America in every thread. Europe is OBVIOUSLY more diverse than America, because its culture goes back thousands of years before America even existed. The diversity of people, culture, architecture, music and social anthropology in Europe is much greater than in America.

If you can find the money to pay for it in the US, that is. Get a citizenship in a European country and education is either free or 1/10th of the price.

A big city in either the US or Western Europe would be cool to live regardless but I guess what I like about Europe is the free healthcare, it is more urbanized than some areas in the US because of the high population density and also there are so many languages spoken. But the US is not bad, its social problems are strange true but in general people are not bad.

Hmmm, I don't know about that with all the recent stuff that's been happening but in Europe certain minorities are very segregated as well, like the Romani peoples.
Also the European economies struggle a lot that's true, except for maybe Germany and Scandinavia.

Europe, but I don't want to be prosecuted for being a Jew.
I'd say adolescent years are best in Europe then travel to the US for college. A lot of international students do this and get the best of both worlds.
