Why do some people insist silence is required for studying/learning?

[Odin]

I have severe ADHD, so I need to listen to some good classical music to study or else I will daydream.

Severe Tourette's would FVCK!! explain FVCK!! my FVCK!! problem.

[Adagio]

I can't concentrate either, if there's silence. I need music in the background... Though it should not be loud, otherwise my voices starts screaming at me to turn it down...

When there's silence I only work half speed, but when there's annoying noises in the background (Like road-workers close by, or some rock, danish "music") or someones talking to me, I get absolutely nothing done... or very close to nothing...

You made it up.

There's no evidence for hemisphere laterality (I think that's how you call it) as far as I can find.

That's a pretty boring example of Tourette's. You could at least thrown a ****!, ****!, MOTHER****ER! or ****TY COCKS! in there...

Hey, some improvise and some cut and paste.

I don't actually HAVE Tourette's, I just tend to say FVCK!! a lot.

[Drake Tungsten]

Don't worry; I was just looking for an excuse to say ****TY COCKS!

Stupid censor...

Every time I try to build my ****ty wall, stupid Mongorians always try to knock it down!

That was a great episode.

I really miss South Park...

[st_swithin]

Me too.

[Drake Tungsten]

Why can't you watch it? Are the new episodes not ready yet, or what?

[st_swithin]

No cable, no Direct TV.

No cable, no Direct TV.

My god...

You have my sincerest condolences.

[st_swithin]

Yeah, I'm pretty out of it. But now I have more time to read things I find on the ground.

Well, at least you've found the silver lining.
