Community:Values

Values is a specific subset of Ideologyballs that refers to specific political values, it primarily is used for the values presented on the 8Values Test (8Values), but ball comics about values presented in other online tests like 9Axes, LeftValues, the planned version of RightValues (not this one) have been made, but none has been made about 2Values.

 * Stalwart individuals believe that a person is what he is, and his/her characteristics can only by dictated by the strong or by the surrounding environment.
