A whole bunch of fellow FMA fans have probably already said this but if 4Kids did FMA:

Everyone's clothes would be Americanized

Everyone's names that are NOT in English would be made to English

We'd probably end up with different names than what we already have

All foods would be Americanized

ALL blood would be edited out

ANYTHING with sin, religion, death, loss of limbs, etc would be either edited or altered

The voices of all the characters would be SO DAMN CRAPPY

ANYTHING about the Homunculi would be edited

ANYTHING sexual would be taken out

ALL relationships would be dropped imediately (bad spelling)

I can't think of anything else. How about you guys?

Yup! *shudders at the thought of it*

It just sucks that FMA is on at NIGHT!!!!

If Toonami did it all they'd do is edit out HALF of the blood and take out the cussing.

Also they'd have it on their time slot like after Naruto or something.

What would the FMA story be then? Death is a pretty big theme of it. :|

Well, I don't think it's gonna happen sicne all of FMA has already been dubbed bu Funimation. Unless 4Kids wants to make a stupid "kid-friendly" version. :roll:

What would've happened if Toonami/VIZ Media did FMA? Would it be like Naruto with only HALF of the blood and no cussing?

For Toonami, they'd keep the Death theme.

For 4Kids, it'd be something like sent to another dimension (sp?) or something.

Ah, like what they did with Yu-Gi-Oh?
And I guess if FMA had been broadcasted on Toonami it would've turned out like Naruto.

I have to admit that the dub isn't that bad. It could've been worse, but a lot of stuff that would've normally been taken out was kept. Naruto, however, is a less serious show than FMA. Not to say FMA doesn't have its funny moments, but a lot of editing would have had to been done to give it a PG rating.
