I don't want it to ever complain about permissions or ask for sudo password ever again. Is there any way to do this?

I have to say it is a really bad idea since it removes a big part of the security. To remove password prompts for commands/apps using sudo do
sudo visudo
to open the sudo file. Once in there change:
%sudo ALL=(ALL:ALL) ALL
to
%sudo ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD:ALL
Then exit and save using Ctrl+x, y, Enter
To remove password prompts for some graphical applications that use policy kit, not sudo do the following:
create a .pkla file in
/etc/polkit-1/localauthority/50-local.d/
for example the file could be named 99-nopassword.pkla and the path would be
/etc/polkit-1/localauthority/50-local.d/99-nopassword.pkla
That file should contain:
[No password prompt]
Identity=unix-group:sudo
Action=*
ResultActive=yes
See the pklocalauthority manpage for more information.
Edit:
To completely remove the necessity of sudo for a terminal session, type sudo -i to execute your shell. After that you don't have to run sudo until you close that session
