I only tolerate something if it proves beneficial to me. For example, I tolerate my girlfriend's Mormon beliefs because I love her and being with her makes me feel great. However, outside of that situation I have no desire to tolerate people. I have no problem saying I don't like religion and that Catholicism a crock of shit and I don't care if my standing up and mentioning the problems with such people is considered intolerant.
People need to be told when their wrong or there is a flaw in their logic. You can't just ignore such things and pretend they don't exist.
Now, having said that, I would like to repeat that if something is beneficial to you if you tolerate it, so be it. Tolerating poor working conditions (to an extent) is important to make you money until you find something better, so it all really comes down to the type of situation.
So, yes and no, but mainly no.
