Pathological liars -- people who habitually lie to get their way -- are usually either sociopaths or suffer from antisocial personality disorder, which is very similar (some specialists do not differentiate). They lack an understanding of the way their behavior effects others, and have no compunction about doing whatever they must to get their own way and to facilitate what passes for enjoyment in their lives, which usually involves manipulating other people.
They are dangerous to everyone who associates with them, because they are only reliable when it suits their purposes. They will disappoint, use and abuse others to get what they want. Living with or around one is especially hard on children, who are programmed to trust the adults in their lives and who suffer enormously when their expectations are not met. Since they tend to blame themselves instead of the adult, dealing with a pathological liar can have devastating and far-reaching effects on them.
I trust this was not too vague.
