Does the description of the "rocky ground" people in Mark 4 <parable of sower>?

sound strangely familiar? Is Jesus really saying that those who react that way don't have strong roots in their Faith?

4:16 And these are they likewise which are sown on stony ground; who, when they have heard the word, immediately receive it with gladness;

4:17 And have no root in themselves, and so endure but for a time: afterward, when affliction or persecution ariseth for the word's sake, immediately they are offended.

What are your thoughts?

    All four examples in that story are about different types of Christians, and yes, there are a lot of stony ground Christians around here.
