我不知道你是医生还是护士,从文中看来,你应该是医疗系统的专业人士,但你在这篇文章中用的几个英文词语已经表明你很不专业了,而且你的这种表达对于智力残疾的人是一种侮辱和歧视. 在加拿大是违法的.我们要称智力残疾的人为people with intellectual disabilities.就如同身体残疾的人,我们称之people with physical disabilities.

For those who misunderstand the terms used in the original articles:
The three traditional terms denoting varying degrees of mental deficiency long predate psychiatry. Their now obsolete use as psychiatric technical definitions is of purely historical interest. But they are still used in the slide notes from Queen's University teaching session, and that's why I used in the article. No meaning of insulting .
Idiot indicated the greatest degree of mental deficiency, where the mental age is 2 years or less, and the person cannot guard himself against common physical dangers. The term was gradually replaced by the term profound mental retardation.
Imbecile indicated a mental deficiency less extreme than idiocy and not necessarily inherited. It is now usually subdivided into two categories, known as severe mental retardation and moderate mental retardation.
Moron was defined by the American Association for the Study of the Feeble-Minded in 1910, following work by Henry H. Goddard, as the term for an adult with a mental age between eight and twelve; mild mental retardation is now the term for this condition. Alternative definitions of these terms based on IQ were also used.
History
The treatment of mentally retarded people has always reflected the changes in society. They have been officially referred to as idiots and as the feebleminded. The introduction of the IQ test was followed by a classification system that used such terms as moron (IQ of 51–70), imbecile (26–50), and idiot (0–25); later these terms were softened and classifications redefined somewhat to mild (IQ of 55–70), moderate (40–54), severe (25–39), and profound (0–24) retardation. The term mentally retarded itself, although still commonly used, has been replaced in some settings by the term developmentally disabled.

"从moron(低能） 到 imbecile（痴呆） 到 idiot （白痴）不同等级
From what standard did you put people in these following categories ???
and who gives you the right to identify mentally challenged people by using these insulting words? do you even understand the meanings behind these words??
you know what ? Canada is probably not the best place to be, but it definately educate people to develop basic respect to other people , to human being.
And you, are certainly lacking some of it .
So I highly recommand you get yourself straighten up before being called a " moron"....
中国是精英的天堂 加国是白痴的天堂
