As someone who grew up in Germany and has been living in the US for ten years I think a "better than x" comparison is totally pointless.
I personally prefer the US to living in Europe but that's preference.

There are great things and not so great things about everything, including Europe vs. USA.

Frankly I'm perplexed seeing a thread like this because in this day and age one would think any intelligent person realizes that there are upsides and downsides to everything, and one simply cannot say one country/continent is better than the other.

Also, Europe is comprised of many different countries, each with their own traditions, quirks, policies, and attitudes.

Saying "Europe is this and that" or "Americans are this and that" is way too generalized to have any merit IMHO.
