Hey Spearchucker, get a fucking hobby.

A little about AJ's icon, Rebecca ... errr .... Pocahontas ... umm ... Matoaka ...

"Pocahontas" was a nickname, meaning "the naughty one" or "spoiled child". Her real name was Matoaka. The legend is that she saved a heroic John Smith from being clubbed to death by her father in 1607 - she would have been about 10 or 11 at the time. The truth is that Smith's fellow colonists described him as an abrasive, ambitious, self-promoting mercenary soldier.

Of all of Powhatan's children, only "Pocahontas" is known, primarily because she became the hero of Euro-Americans as the "good Indian", one who saved the life of a white man. Not only is the "good Indian/bad Indian theme" inevitably given new life by Disney, but the history, as recorded by the English themselves, is badly falsified in the name of "entertainment".

The truth of the matter is that the first time John Smith told the story about this rescue was 17 years after it happened, and it was but one of three reported by the pretentious Smith that he was saved from death by a prominent woman.

Yet in an account Smith wrote after his winter stay with Powhatan's people, he never mentioned such an incident. In fact, the starving adventurer reported he had been kept comfortable and treated in a friendly fashion as an honored guest of Powhatan and Powhatan's brothers. Most scholars think the "Pocahontas incident" would have been highly unlikely, especially since it was part of a longer account used as justification to wage war on Powhatan's Nation.

i've also heard the theory that he may have made it up to benefit pocahontas since she was living in england and the idea that she saved his ass granted her a bit of prestige.

Spearchucker Jones could have been a good character but the movie didn't give him much time and he was only on the show for a couple episodes. Probably not historically accurate but not a whole lot about the show was.

I've heard that and it makes sense but impossible to tell with all the different stories out there about the whole thing.

AJ supporters ask yourself a question;

Why is he always explaining his position?

AJ is compelled to explain how it's "different when HE does it" because few people understand the core tenet of Glibertarianism: "Rules For Thee But Not For Me!"

You might be 30 or so and blonde and pretty.

But if all those sexually-crazed doufusses and lesbians turn a blind eye to your "veiled" aka blatant racism towards native americans:

It's not a reflection of how "cute" you are, honey.
It just shows that they'd hump a chair, if someone told them it was female.

most certainly.

i also read that john smith wasn't all that bad. he was simply disliked by the original jamestown bunch because he expected them to work and they were privileged aristocrats who would do no such thing.
