Even if Full suspension bikes have more traction, it's not much. The only instance I can think of would be a rock garden or something, but even then, your tires will slip out from under you.
That has to be the most rude comment ever. I'm far from being a child. I've got my DRIVING license and in a few months will be of legal drinking age. And I bet I know a whole lot more about bikes than you do. You want a bike that doesn't even exist. And as far as I know, softails are no longer made.
I suggest you try it before assuming that. The truth is, the complete opposite of what you said is true.
Okay, first of all, softtails are definitely still being made:

Second, if you're riding technical trails, the bike is bouncing and slipping all the time. Much of the time it's just millimeters and unnoticeable, but it's still happening.
