Do what I did - DOCUMENT EVERYTHING - get a journal, and every time you speak, or see the offender, write the date and everything that happened - even if it seems irrelevent or unimportant. Tape record phone conversations or meetings with the person. Get witnesses to events - and have them write what they saw, sign and date it. Call the police or talk to someone in victims services and inform them of the situation - and ask them to note it officially. If children are involved, call social services and inform them of the situation and situations encountered. TALK TO YOUR DOCTOR - he/she will also document your conversation in your medical file which can be used in court if you so chose. MOst importantly - you need to develop a history of the behaviour and document it with various sources. And on a more pesonal note - everyone's true colors show through eventually...if you've caught onto the persons behaviour, others will too. Good Luck.

There is a book that is written largely for the issue you speak of:
Stop Walking on Eggshells; Coping When Someone You Care about Has Borderline Personality Disorder
Authors: Paul Mason, Randi Kreger
Best of luck!
Short of tape recording them or having a witness the next time you get into one of their headache-inducing conversations, not much. But I do agree with the last post.
The same way an attorney wins a case, by presenting a preponderance of substantiating evidence to prove the claim(s).
It didn't take much after the attack of Pearl Harbor. Everyone was ready to fight.
Everyone he thought was against him, including family.

Cassius says the real cause is the fact that caesar is not a good man and hides things from everyone. He was trying to convince Brutus that Caesar is bad. His descision will backfire
VAT taxes everyone including those less well off, regardless of income and wealth.
i don't think they hate everyone. they may be neutral towards the general population.
None. Sociopaths are physically identical to everyone else.
To a sociopath, everyone is fair game, if she is being singled out then she should be keeping her eyes open.

a cumpulsive liar is a person who lies repeatedly with no belief or personal gain from the lies. A pathological liar is a person who lies repeatedly until they begin to believe their own lies.

I am not aware of any specific studies but I can tell you that pathological liars suffer from antisocial personality disorder (also called sociopathy). In relationships, these people are draining and parasitic and should be avoided at all costs. They are experts at charming even the smartest and most intuitive people. In relationships, a sociopath sees a target --someone they can use and exploit. Sadly everyone is a potential target to a sociopath because we all have weaknessess and the sociopath is a master at exploiting a person's weakness for their own personal gain. They lie, lie, lie! I think many believe their own lies but its hard to tell because a real sociopath probably won't admit to it. The net is just brimming with information on this topic. One exceptionally helpful site is www.lovefraud.com. It explains the disorder as well as providing legal/personal advice on how to deal with such people. The site also contains a forum in which victims of sociopaths may share their personal experiences and offer guidance and support to one another. Of course the DSM (Diagnostic and Statistical Manual) is the official source of information for any pathology and should be consulted for a deeper understanding of the pathological liar and his/her interactions with others.
If you need it for school or it would help with school that may help you convince them, but you cant convince everyone you should also hear them out on why they wont buy it.

convince everyone that you are just really stoned.
Everyone wants to kill bad people sometimes. Especially if they watch a lot of Dexter.
If the person lacks feelings/empathy, along with other symptoms, it is possible that they are a sociopath
