The all new what are you doing now thread

I'm arguing with some guy who said I can't express my opinion about a band on the internet because that slates someone else's opinion and then he said Iron Maiden were shit.

Can someone say hypocrisy?

Mucus is made by tiny glands in your sinus and nasal cavities. It is 95%
water, but also includes proteins (that give it elasticity), fats,
carbohydrates and salt. The healthy human nose makes more than a pint
of mucus a day :shock: , which forms a blanket over the delicate tissue that lines
the nose. Little hairs called cilia beat along the nasal passages to move
the mucus around, and it drains down the back of the throat, where it is
unknowingly swallowed. :edbarf:



Despite its tendency to become annoying at times, especially when you
get a cold, mucus does a lot of good things for you. It keeps germs, dirt,
pollen and bacteria from getting into your lungs by trapping them in your
nose. When the mucus does not effectively clear out irritating particles
your sinuses kick into high gear and produce even more mucus in an
attempt to flush the nose out; this leads to a runny nose. If the invading
particle is a virus or bacteria, your immune system may respond by
increasing blood flow to the area, which can cause the surrounding tissue
to swell. Mucus can then thicken and get stuck behind the swollen nasal
passage and you end up with a stuffed up nose.



Mucus, by itself, is a very good protective mechanism - it is only when it
gets over produced that it causes problems and steps can and should be
taken to reduce it a little bit. First of all, you can blow your nose more
frequently as that can help keep it free of mucus. You can also increase
the humidity of the air you breathe, especially when you sleep, with a
vaporizer or humidifier. This helps keep your mucus liquefied and less
likely to get stuffed up. You can try to avoid irritants such as tobacco
smoke :| and sudden changes in temperature, as they can make your nose
drip more, too. Finally, if you are suffering from a cold then there are
some medicines you can take, like decongestants (for stuffed up noses) or
antihistamines (for especially runny noses) to help make you feel better.



Even though it might seem annoying, mucus is a good protective system
to have in place. It is much better to have germs get caught in your nose
than in your lungs.
