"What do you get if you multiply six by nine" is of course off question (so is "What do you get if you multiply six by seven"). Come on guys, after all we ARE the inhabitants of the Earth :).

Studies recently have shown that as a result of our society’s fantasy with cleanliness children are growing up with weak immune systems. This is because their parents have been keeping the environment so sterile that when they do come in contact with disease they have no way to fight it.

Keeping this in mind is our safety culture making us weak?

What I mean is this, in the past there were no weight restrictions on lifting things (unlike now where at work you are no allowed to lift anymore than 20 kg), there were no air bag systems or ABS in cars, There was no very effective anti-bacterial chemicals, etc.

So is our health and safety culture making us as a race (the western world) weaker and more fragile or is it helping us to grow stronger? And what (if anything) should be done about it?

PLEASE do not quote injury statistics to back up your argument. That is not the point of the question.

Serious answers only and please explain your answers.

I thank you in advance.

I have a few, ok here they are. They're kinda conversations, though.

"yes"
"yes, sir"
"there's no need to call me 'sir', Professor"
~Harry & Snape ~HP and the order of the Phoenix

"Dumbledor's man through and through, aren't you, Potter?
"yeah, I am. Glad we straightened that out."
~Harry & the Minister ~HP and the Half blood Prince

"You know minister, I disagree with Dumbledore on many occations, but you can't deny he's got style." ~ Phineas Nigellus Black ~ HP and the HBP

"Yeah, we're not stupid, we know we're called Gred and Forge." ~ Fred & Gorge ~ HP and the Sorcers Stone

Thats just some of my favorite quotes! What are yours?

Please read through this before you leave my question to go to someone else's, and help me if you can. I have auditions /this Saturday/ into a magnet arts achedemy high school. I'm /extremely/ nervous. One thing that I just can't get is my tendus. My foot just doesn't have that pretty arch like all the other girls that enables them to point beautifully and get all the way up on point. Some people don't even think I'm pointing my foot enough when it's simply as far as I can point it. I know the people who judge me might think the same. I was wondering if anyone can give me any exercizes that will make my ankles more flexible, or just any tips on how to do a good audition. (but especially the ankles/ good arch thing)

Thank you all so much.
