Europe - The world's greatest masterminds and the world's biggest criminals happen to born there.
Europe is also the home of the most ancients and finest civilizations. Democracy was invented there almost 2000 years before white settlers set their feets on american ground.
Citizens of the EU are thinking of their union as an economical and political superpower. Indeed, they could be a superpower, if they would start to agree with each other. But History has shown, that something like that will never happen: the last 60 years were the _longest_ period of freedom ever on the european continent.
They try to solve problems with diplomacy even when someone's shooting at them.

First used on Jon Stewart's The Daily Show, this expression was created as an ironic play on America's near-hypocritical response to the Russian invasion of Georgia: "We cannot tolerate invasions of sovereign countries...in Europe."
Stewart compared it the the popular "...in bed" modifier for fortune cookies, in which the words "...in Europe" can be added on to any statement to create a sarcastic overtone.

"i totally pwned him in halo!" "yeah, in europe."
"Steve Guttenburg could beat Chuck Norris any day of the week...in Europe."

europe dates back longer then you think it does, Homo erectus and Neanderthals settled Europe long before the emergence of modern humans, Homo sapiens. The earliest appearance of anatomically modern people in Europe has been dated to 35,000 BC. Evidence of permanent settlement dates from the 7th millennium BC in Bulgaria, Romania and Greece. The Neolithic reached Central Europe in the 6th millennium BC and parts of Northern Europe in the 5th and 4th millennium BC. There is no prehistoric culture that covers the whole of Europe. For short introductions to the various cultures like Palaeolithic, Mesolithic, Neolithic, Bronze Age and Iron Age.
The first well-known literate civilization in Europe was that of the Minoans of the island of Crete and later the Myceneans in the adjacent parts of Greece, starting at the beginning of the 2nd millennium BC. Around 400 BC, the La Tene culture spread over most of the interior as far as the Iberian Peninsula (Spain and Portugal), and later Anatolia. The Etruscans inhabited central Italy and Lombardy, where they were displaced by the Celts, who mingled with earlier residents of Iberia to produce a unique Celtiberian culture. As the Celts did not use a written language, knowledge of them is piecemeal. The Romans encountered them and recorded a great deal about them; these records and the archaeological evidence form our primary understanding of this extremely influential culture. The Celts posed a formidable, if disorganized, competition to the Roman state, that later colonized and conquered much of the southern portion of Europe.

A continent which is becoming politically similar to USA in arraingment (Look at how the European Union works...its alot like the States/Federal goverment of the US)
A continent taht withen ints borders, posses more money, technology and force then any other group of allied states.
Also the highest standard of living in the world.
Yah, it has its problems, everything does. But Id rather move to Europe then anywhere else.
