"Your argument only makes sense if the law was stating you had to buy sex toys when you didn't want them."

Your argument only makes sense if you think it would be OK to have a crack house next door to you, prostitutes walking up and down your sidewalk, and an OTB parlor across the street.

If you don't want them, don't buy them.

Exactly, it's called freedom but I doubt that you can see through your own sarcasm

Ever been to Columbia?

This is a false analogy, leading to an illogically false premise.

They are not the same.

The (legal) sale of sex toys is something that is consumed by the individual, for his/her own private use, with no other impact on society. It's uses and functions occur in the home, in private, in what should be well beyond the prying eyes of others, the omnipotent state included.

The ones you have mentioned in your false analogy all impact society because of their public manifestation. They are, in fact (except for OTB), illegal.

Demonstrations like this bring nothing to the table, but rather show you as someone who cannot successfully argue the point you wish to make.

If you really want to win converts to your cause, don't insult our intelligence like this.
