So far most threads here are too far stretched to be discussed at length. Let's go with something simple (and provable, should you feel the need to) for a change 
I'll kick it off :
We all know the higher we go, the lower the boiling point for water is due to pressure changes.
My question: does this mean the water has a lower freezing point as well ? (ie: still liquid at -5c ? )
EDIT: It would be nice if we concentrated on one question at a time, until a satisfactory conclusion can be made.
It can't. The compressibility of water is a function of pressure and temperature as the pressure is increased the compressibility decreases. . At 0 °C in the limit of zero pressure the compressibility. The low compressibility of water in particular, leads to it often being assumed as incompressible. I'll kick it off :
