FYI; the EU has something the "new world" (US/Canada/Australia/Latin America/etc.) can never have; history.

If you want something more objective, there are magnitudes more UNESCO designated sites in the EU than the US.
Okay, I don't have a lying detector so...I been to Canada and Australia, never been to latin America, every place has history.

On top of that, America is involved in so much finance, and since are economy isn't the best it makes us even more unhappy, on top of that the worst traffic in the developed world, and a good amount of crime.

A marshal are just wet lands...please don't tell me Europe magically has swamps now full of alligators and Burmese pythons like we do. Not to mention monkeys, giant snails and gorillas have been reported here.

You didn't mention alligators and burmese pythons in your original post. A swamp doesn't have to be filled with them.

The British economy is even more finance-heavy.

Yeah I know, but that wasn't the point, America's economy is the worlds largest consumer.

Kourtney Kardashian has always been in good shape, no one talks about her losing weight.

I've edited my post with a link to an europen swamp. Not sure why you're asking for examples, there are swamps everywhere in the World, no need to have Spanish moss and alligators to be labelled so.
