ACTION NEEDED to Educate a Syndicated Columnist

Amy Dickinson is a newspaper columnist who writes the syndicated advice column Ask Amy.  She has also appeared as a social commentator on ABC’ s Good Morning America and NBC’s The Today Show.

Ms. Dickinson recently made some disturbing comments in her column:

  • “Failure to register as a convicted sex offender is a serious crime in every state.”
  • Anyone on the registry who fails to register is arrogant or irresponsible.
  • Implies that having a romantic relationship with anyone on the registry is a mistake.

Yes, there are some dangerous people on the registry, but Ms. Dickinson is unaware that this subgroup is in the minority.  We need to educate her in a cordial manner that the majority of people with a past sex offense are law-abiding citizens.   She needs to hear from a LOT of us so that she will hopefully make a retraction soon in her column.

Ms. Dickinson can be reached at:  [email protected] and Twitter@askingamy.

    She definitely lives up to her name. She puts the Dickinson in myths, emotions, and fear. Another window dressing advice column.

      Was he doing a science experiment as a state psychologist for registrants therapy? Only in Florida and the state worries about out of staters.

      Just sayin
      Here is an article of different note I thought interesting. By Jeff Lehr
      [email protected]. Dated Jan 31,2022 from the Joplin Globe report. Teachers marriage to student results in dismissal of charge.
      On another topic Whoopi Goldberg was removed from her job because of making an inaccurate comment on the view about Jews which she apologized for. And by the way nobody has more of a Jewish name than her. Come on now. Goldberg give me a break.
      Why is not the same action done to Amy Dickinson . Why is there a double standard.
      My personal view of her comments is she wasn’t completely inaccurate. She said they were persecuted because of there ideologies which is not entirely wrong. The Jews were singled out as race because of there ideology which others didn’t agree with.

    Its difficult to educate people who don’t want to hear the truth, but I just sent her a lengthy email refuting her misconceptions.

      I’ve said for years that you can’t argue common sense with someone who doesn’t have any. I read a book by an FBI hostage negotiator who said that appealing to logic often doesn’t work because heightened emotions like fear override logic.

    Here she promotes abandoning ones fiance in tough times. In her two other columns she managed to promote gaslighting and nepotism. What festering rag gave this vile bitch a pen?

      KLM…
      (Thanks for Taking the Time to Read The Toilet Paper-You are To Be Commended)

      Yes More Grocery Store Tabloid Toilet Paper!

      Most of These “Feel Good” Syndicated Columnists are Glorified Romance Novelists! They Never Discuss Empirical Data-Just Pure DRAMA!

      As My Grandfather Used To Say, “You Can’t Educate Stupid, You Just Shoot Stupid”; He Was NOT referring to actually shooting them, But, To Just To Ignore Them!

        Truth

        Stupid people often shoot themselves in the foot. Hopefully they are wearing steal toe boots.

    Maybe if Amy knew the whole Gambit and redundancy of the requirements of the registry then she might be more open minded on the failure to register topic. It’s quite apparent that she lacks knowledge of the registry requirements. Her other opinion is very controversial topic so I’ll just leave that alone and not let my emotions get involved in that.
