It is ALWAYS wrong to knowingly make a false statement. It becomes illegal and a violation of the law depending on what the false statement is about or pertains to. There are several statutes both civil and criminal which make it a crime to make false statements and the punishment depends upon the circumstances.
Giving false testimony is called perjury under the law. In most jurisdictions perjury is a felony that is punishable by years in prison and large fines.
Then you have committed the crime of perjury (lie under oath) and can go to jail if convicted)
Unfortunately, nothing. Even in states where it's illegal, such as in Missouri.

If the statement is false, then "This statement is false", is a lie, making it "This statement is true." The statement is now true. But if the statement is true, then "This statement is false" is true, making the statement false. But if the statement is false, then "This statement is false", is a lie, making it "This statement is true." The statement is now true. But if the statement is true, then... It's one of the biggest paradoxes ever, just like saying, "I'm lying right now."
Let us consider "This statement is false." This quotation could also be read as "This, which is a statement, is false," which could by extent be read as "This is a statement and it is false." Let's call this quotation P. The statement that P is a statement will be called Q. If S, then R and S equals R; therefore, if Q, then P equals not-P (since it equals Q and not-P). Since P cannot equal not-P, we know that Q is false. Since Q is false, P is not a statement. Since P says that it is a statement, which is false, P itself is false. Note that being false does not make P a statement; all things that are statements are true or false, but it is not necessarily true that all things that are true or false are statements. In summary: "this statement is false" is false because it says it's a statement but it isn't.
You make a statement that is either a true one or a false one. Simple as that. For example, you might say "The moon is made of green cheese" as a false statement and most people know that's wrong.
it is false
A false statement is "Wetlands are deserts."
The statement is neither true or false,"crossing a road from behind a road"simply does not make sense as a statement - how can you cross a road from behind a road!
the statment would be "you will shoot me"
Yes, a statement can be true or false but without knowing what the statement is no-one can possibly say whether it is true or it is false.
This statement happens to be true. The word scare is an example of a synonym of the word frighten.
A counterexample is a specific case in which a statement is false.
