You're comparing a drunken, irresponsible frat boy to a situation where thousands of monks (you have got to understand their place in that society to even grasp what this means to them) have been risking their lives every day, and thousands more citizens are joining them, also risking their lives, just for a chance at living without a military junta's knives at their throats?

C'mon, Ustwo... I know you have your opinions, but don't tell me you've adopted the attitude of, "oh yay, more brown people getting themselves killed in a fucked-up third-world country, change the channel please..."
