Search engines just send their bots to your site - bots that base their analysis on the content (onpage - title, description, keywords, outgoing and incoming links, etc.) you have on your pages. Such nofollow attribute is religiously weighed by these bots. SE's don't judge your site by the actual content
For a webmaster not to employ the nofollow and dofollow on their sites is just absurd! You own that site and has every right to dictate which sites to vouch for with regards to outgoing links you have on your site
Remember that each dofollow link you have on your page is considered a vote in the eyes of the SE's. Now if you own a blog, you wouldn't want someone spamming and leaving a link to a linkfarm, porn related, or banned sites would you?
So make use of them properly
