What are your values worth to you? |
"My values are worth the combination of what is right and what is PC, taking PC as something that others subscribe to get along with the crowd this I am not. I feel being true to yourself and values instilled by my parents are important. I believe that as long as I do not hurt others but stand up to the wrongs of the world is worth fighting for."
