I'm pretty sure Buddhism preaches tolerance. Also moderation. I think the world would be a better place if we were all Buddhists.
Not sure about Buddhism itself, but the prevailing attitute among Eastern belief is karma: what you give to reality, you get from reality. If an Eastern believer sees you bleeding on the road, she'll pass you by, because she believes you must have done something to deserve your pain, and helping you would ruin the balance between your action and reality's reaction. I'd rather people help and hurt each other than ignore each other.
