People lie for all kinds of reasons. There are the little white lies that we all tell once in a while and then there are the lies that can come back to haunt a person when one lie turns into another and another and sooner or later you are so caught up in a lie you can't get out and those lies can harm you in the end. You can lose friend's hurt family and even lose your job. Why do people do it? Some do it for the drama and others do it for fear of facing the truth. Think what the world would be like if we all choose our words carefully. I myself would rather be lonely then be around family and friends that run from the truth..

In truth only the liar knows the answer to that, but my guess would be for either a) attention, b) well I can't think of another reason, unless it's to try to be something your not. Any way you look at it lies are stupid.

People who tell lies have a lack of confidence. But they don't realise that you have to have a good memory to be a good liar.

People like nian3555 and waiching liu have noting else to do, and are the ones reporting everyone for no reason, report them back and point out that people at Yahoo do not have the right to censor us just cos we don't agree or sympathise with them.

To find out if the person we tell them to is stupid enough to buy it.

To cover up their stupid actions

Fun, profit.
Honestly, though, I think it's because of low self-esteem they are trying to inflate.

Who knows? If they told clever ones they might not get caught out so badly!

For personal gain or to "protect" the other person.
