Slugs? A punch in the arm? What you shoot out of a firearm? Those slimy things that you find in your garden?

In my younger days, all-you-can-eat buffets were great. Before kids, my wife and I used to go to them a lot. These days we just can not eat very much in one sitting, so I agree. Overrated.
 
Overrated: ASD as a disease or disability
Doctrines of men
The need for modern pharmaceuticals
Race, color, sexual orientation
Diplomas - titles before and after peoples names
Money- its just paper with a said value that is worth nothing
"Love" here today divorced tomorrow
Movies and concerts
Fast food

Underrated: The gifts ASD people have given the world
The teachings of old that are eternal, and now mostly forgotten
The lost use of old world medicines
Time and how we waste it
Unconditional love
True freedom - not just something we call freedom
Nature
Sailboats (specifically catamaran's)
catching fireflies and sitting around a camp fire
Farm to fork - healthy foods with no junk in it

Good list. Common theme is how the world is becoming more and more artificial and less natural. Cause of many of today's health problems IMO.
