CPU mining was nice before everything got all crazy, it would be nice to have a coin stick to CPU mining and be well distributed

CPU mining is not good for any coin as it can be taken over by botnets. The coin has to quickly evolve to at least support GPU to survive.

and mining with gpu's is better how? Ever heard of a GPU farm?

GPU farm VS BOTNET VS ASIC

it is like comparing a tractor, a bus and lambo

They are all vehicles but each tailored to complete a task. an ILLEGAL BOTNET is something to discuss, but not any Tom Dick and Harry that has access/owns server farms or thousands of desktop computers.

In a GPU farm or an ASIC operation, they pay for the hardware and electricity from their own pocket. A botnet operator does no such think and can abuse the coin as much as possible for free.

how exactly is he "abusing" the coin?

there is "use" and "abuse", please clearly define what you are saying. And of course lets not forget your reasoning that access to a botnet//server farm//as-many-computers-as-i-can == ILLEGAL BOTNET.

This is not an ethics discussion, it's mostly for those with a passion for CPU mining, GPU discussion is allowed since they are treated the same nowadays.
