The opposite of a RedneckSmalltalker: You are a LiberalPinkoCommieSmalltalker if * You choose to live in countries with comprehensive national health services and do not take out private health insurance even if working (undercover) in a 'city'bank * You support gun control * You travel to work by public transport * ... and don't own a car * ... and don't know how to drive * ... alternatively you may cycle in * So that you can keep writing code while commuting * ... except when cycling in * You write class comments * ... and sometimes even method comments * You also write documentation (red cover optional) * ... but not too much (save those trees!) * You use a neat testing framework * ...religiously (using this word, as always, as a metaphor) * ...even if those rednecks wrote it * Refuse to smalltalk with Austrians (''the nationality, or the economic school?'' ;-) * ...unless they commit treason * You think it's great that Smalltalk treats every object equally to every other object * ... in fact, you've redefined Object== to make this the case :-) * You describe refactoring as "class struggle" * Every class is a working class * You dismiss SOAP-based systems, because they are only for the "chattering classes" ---- I think it must be significant, somehow, that this page is decidedly '''not funny''', unlike RedneckSmalltalker. ''refactoring="class struggle" is funny as hell. -- RedneckJavaProgrammer'' ---- Some conversation on what makes a political orientation Liberal was moved to WhatIsLiberal. ---- I think I HaveThisPattern, and I'm not at all convinced that's a good thing. :-) -- AdamBerger ---- CategorySmalltalk CategoryHumor
