Why aren't Amides Basic?

Well, I am curious to know just that. We never really touched on it in class but I still would like to know why. Is it something to do with the carbonyl group?

Yes, you are right. It has something to do with the carbonyl group. The resonance between O=C-N-R causes the lone pairs on nitrogen to be delocalized.
