More on Chile/Bolivia

The following is an editorial by Herm

Scorpion is (I believe) Chilean.

The quote appears to be a machine translation of the original Spanish "Runner Bolivian" makes sense when you take it literally into Spanish - "Corredor Boliviano" which, in the context of the article, means "Bolivian Corridor".

Bolivia is landlocked, and lost it's "corridor" to the Pacific Ocean in the mid 1800s after a dispute/war with Chile.

Basically, the area in dispute, while a desert, is rich in minerals, and commercially a valuable resource.

How could you tell? Or 1/2 Chilean, to be technically correct.  Just mix all the flags in my signature in a pot, and you got my nationality.

I used Altavista, because for the amount of work to manually translate it, versus by machine, it just wasn't worth it. Besides, anybody reading the quote would still get pretty much the same message.
