It's been ages since I saw SG, but weren't the "aliens" they met mostly other humans that were forcibly relocated to other planets? So then the prime directive shouldn't really count because they're all us

Let’s not forget that these directives originate from vastly different points in “our” moral evolutionary “history,” not to mention technological capability (especially versus the rest of the galaxy) and sense of safety/security. If the SGC were founded in the same century as The Federation, would they have a similar stance?

Captains have applied the PD to “lost” groups of humans on more than one occasion.

This got me thinking who actually came up with the Prime Directive? Was it humans or the Vulcans?

As they claim about many things, the Vulcans did it first.

I mean it’s really not a moral thing, in stargate humanity would have been pretty fucked if they didn’t take every opportunity to bash on gods and arm people to revolt
brings to mind a quote from Zero Punctuation: “conservative policies I admit can be a bit callous…when we’re not about to be devoured!”
