If the birth is in the United Kingdom, then yes - automatically. If the birth is outside the United Kingdom and took place after 1 January 1983 and the father (or mother) is a British citizen other than by descent, then yes - automatically. Otherwise, you can become a British citizen by descent if your father (or mother) was a British citizen other than by descent by filling in an application form available at any British Embassy or High Commission and providing the appropriate documentation (usually the parent's British passport and a birth certificate for the child). Alternatively, if you want the child to be able to give British citizenship to their children, naturlization may be a better option but this is discretionary and usually requires 3-5 years residence in the UK. There has been discussion about changing these laws late in 2009.

How are you not a british citizen if you have lived here for 19 years and you have a national insurance number?

A British citizen - is someone born in the UK - in just the same way as a Kosovan is someone born in Kosovo. If you were born outside the UK, and migrated here - you are a 'naturalized citizen'. You are always a native of the country you were born in - moving to any other country makes you an immigrant. Having a NI number simply means you came here legally - instead of in the back of a lorry !
