First off lets get things straight. That part of your post that I underline needs to be cleared up. Yes you were charged and convicted. You had a diversion sentence and that makes your record clean.  

 

So back to your question. You don't say what the issue was but if it qualifies for diversion it probably and I say probably won't stop you from going to other countries. 

 

Now here is the kicker, things like a DUI will prevent you from entering Canada, the US doesn't take it as serious as Canada sees it. 

 

So now find out where you want to go. Check out their websites for visitors and read up what types of crimes would stop you from entering. Then nothing will surprise you when you try to enter. 

I had wanted to go to places like Japan, Korea, Taiwan, but as you just said I got apparently was convicted which I don't understand how. Anyways you pretty much clarified that I can't go abroad now because I have a conviction. No it wasn't assault or DUI, but none the less I'm screwed now.

I suggest  you read the replies again. No no one said what you state was said. 
1.   Google the US passport site and see if your circumstances prevent you from obtaining a US passport. I seriously doubt that you would be unable to get one 

 

2. one at a time , search for the entry requirements for a US citizen to enter the country you want to visit. Read. Read read. That’s how you will find out

Well for starters I do have a passport, but secondly there's no point of looking up anything cause it'll just be a waste of time. As I said my arrest wasn't related to DUI, Assault, or Drugs, but I'll just leave it at that.

Good Luck on what? He was the one said I got convicted. I didn't know a diversion program counted as a conviction (must be different from state to state) anyways I don't know why you want to make fun of me about this. This is serious to me.

No one is making fun of you.  No one has said you are screwed. No one has said you can't visit Taiwan, Japan, or Korea.

Then what was the point of saying good luck then? To mock me obviously.

"good luck" means...Good Luck on your trips abroad.  Have a great time.  I don't see a problem if you have a passport.

So then why say good luck then? You expect me to believe countries like that are going to let me into their country despite not having although my arrest got expunged and it had nothing to do with drugs or a dui? yea think again dude.

yea sure it does. I'm suppose to believe I can get into those countries with an arrest record although it had nothing to do with dui or drugs? I'm not buying that.
