This is a load of bollox.  If you're out and find someone attractive. Have sex. It's fun. 

Sex is natural, sex is good. Not everybody does it. But everybody should. 

 Babies are a natural byproduct of sex.  Babies are good.  They're hard, but can also be fun.  Not everyone has them, but everybody should.

 errr.... really? everybody?

 I was mocking his phrasing.  I've worked for a behavioral health agency focusing on children ages 0-5, most of whom were involved in Child Protective Services and removed from their rotten parents.  So yes, I agree, not everyone should have children.  However, were those rotten parents to get pregnant again, I'd rather they carry the baby to term and have them placed up for adoption than simply snuffed out of existence.

And come on, Kim Jong-Un needs to have an heir.  One day he will pass, and when he does, he needs to have someone to continue condemning South Korean and American actions and threatening devastating war every time one of our presidents sneezes. ;)

EDIT: I guess I should clarify my original point, and that is that I certainly don't think sex is bad.  I just don't think the natural and intended consequences of sex (sometimes referred to as children, or less commonly, prawns) are bad either.
