Don't be so hasty to leap to unwarranted, unsupported conclusions!   Have you never heard of these dismal creatures, the denizons of the "democratic underground", who live
all their mad, miserable lives in the midst of the dank sewers and the dung-drenched muck of the party of B-O and Hillary Rotten, in the dark, evil underworld of the big cities?

Who says there is not? Look at the Denver Airport project.

That creature looks like one of those “decent”, “honorable”, Islamic raping-refugees.

Hey now, hey now, don’t dream — it’s over. ;’)

If the movie “The Time Machine” didn’t scare it out of everyone, the (original series) Star Trek episode “What Are Little Girls Made Of?” should have. ;’)

Wow, I just read the original -- besides calling the NY Slimes "our greatest newspaper" and using the phrase "most unique", he didn't mention the downtown success story of Minneapolis, with its habitrail system for getting around -- a city now dominated by Somalians and other lawless muzzie riffraff.

They don’t have any real way of figuring age for Derinkuyu. My own guess would be that it was meant as a shelter from the last ice age. It would be worth less than nothing as a shelter from Huns or Mongols or anything like that, somebody like Subudai would just pour maptha down the air vents and light a match....

I always saw underground cities as dystopic.
Probably because of the way the idea was depicted in cold war Era science fiction.

At any rate, the Russians have been reported to be engaged in building Thousands of underground bomb shelters, and expanding underground city dwellings for some time now.
Russia is expecting to go to war with us.
Just look at their modernization of ICBM (Satan II 12 MIRV country killer) subs, jets and ships.

That was one of the weirdest, funniest eps, ever.
